Islamabad, June 25, 2025: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has officially extended the deadline for sales tax system integration, providing a much-needed relief to both corporate and non-corporate sales tax registered individuals and businesses in Pakistan.
According to new instructions issued to field formations on Tuesday, the FBR has granted a one-month extension to facilitate a smoother transition for electronic integration with the Board’s computerized system. This decision has been made under Section 74 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990.
As per the revised schedule, corporate registered persons are now required to complete integration by July 1, 2025, while non-corporate registered persons have until August 1, 2025, to comply.
The integration process must be carried out through either a licensed integrator or the Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL), in accordance with Rule 150Q of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006. The directive was shared via a formal communication addressed to the Chief Commissioners across the country.
This step is part of FBR’s ongoing efforts to enhance digital tax compliance, broaden the tax base, and bring more transparency into the sales tax ecosystem in Pakistan.
The extension is expected to benefit thousands of businesses still in the process of aligning their systems with FBR’s digital framework. The move is also seen as a proactive response to industry feedback, particularly from sectors facing integration delays due to technical or operational limitations.
