Islamabad, Apr 24, 2025: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced that all businesses, both corporate and non-corporate, must integrate their hardware and software systems with a computerized platform to issue and transmit electronic invoices by May 1, 2025.
Previously, the electronic invoicing requirement applied exclusively to FMCG companies and tier-1 retailers.

However, the new regulation extends this mandate to all sectors, regardless of industry type. The FBR formalized this directive with the issuance of S.R.O.709(I)/2025.
Non-corporate registered entities now have until June 1, 2025, to complete the integration of their systems for the e-invoicing process.
The new regulation follows earlier requirements from February 2024 for FMCG importers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and wholesalers-retailers to transmit sales tax invoices electronically.
