Islamabad, Nov 13: FBR Launches New Payment Creation System for Seamless Tax Payments on IRIS. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has launched a new payment creation system called ePayment 2.0, which can be accessed within the IRIS 2.0 portal, an enhanced platform aimed at simplifying tax payment processes for taxpayers throughout Pakistan.
This groundbreaking system allows for secure, effective, and user-friendly online payments, which can be accessed directly from taxpayers’ bank accounts via Internet banking, ATMs, and mobile banking, removing the necessity for in-person bank visits.
ePayment 2.0 represents a noteworthy improvement in revenue management, encompassing a variety of taxes, such as Income Tax, Sales Tax, Federal Excise Duty, and Withholding Taxes. In the past, taxpayers utilized a different ePayment system outside of IRIS 2.0, which required them to navigate between different portals.
Now, with the introduction of ePayment 2.0, FBR has created a consolidated and enhanced user interface that is directly accessible within IRIS 2.0. By generating a unique Payment Slip ID (PSID), it facilitates quick and easy payments for both registered and unregistered taxpayers.
The system employs a secure and accurate multi-step process that allows taxpayers to generate a PSID, make payments through ADC channels, and receive a Computerized Payment Receipt (CPR) in real-time, which is available for future compliance needs within IRIS. To improve transparency and accountability, it features a comprehensive PSID search tool, enabling taxpayers to easily locate and verify their payment records.
This level of automation and integration reduces errors and delays, greatly enhancing the tax payment experience and aligning with FBR’s vision for a business-friendly, compliant tax environment.
Aisha Farooq, Director General (IT&DT), officially launched the ePayment System at PRAL Headquarters in Islamabad. Her attendance highlighted the strategic significance of this digital innovation in FBR’s ongoing modernization efforts, emphasizing the system’s importance in improving taxpayer convenience and operational efficiency. This marks another significant innovation that solidifies FBR’s position as a leader in digital tax administration.
With the rollout of ePayment 2.0, FBR has not just streamlined the tax payment process but has also integrated it into the IRIS 2.0 platform, offering taxpayers a cohesive and improved experience. This unified system removes the need for multiple logins and platform changes, providing a single, user-friendly interface that is both intuitive and efficient.
Taxpayers now enjoy a simplified process that consolidates all critical tax payment functions in one place, making compliance more accessible and convenient than ever. By focusing on user experience through a modernized and integrated interface, FBR reaffirms its dedication to supporting taxpayers and advancing a more efficient, digitally progressive Pakistan.
