The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has extended the deadline for electronic integration of its sales tax system. Corporate registered persons now have until July 1, 2025, to complete the integration. Non-corporate registered persons have been given extra time until August 1, 2025.
This extension was announced in a notification issued to field formations on Tuesday. The instructions relate to the integration of taxpayers into the FBR’s computerized system under the Sales Tax Rules, 2006.
The FBR used its powers under Section 74 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990 to extend these deadlines. Taxpayers are required to integrate through either a licensed integrator or PRAL (Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited).
Previously, many businesses had faced technical or operational difficulties in meeting the earlier deadlines. The new dates offer more time to align their systems with the FBR’s digital requirements.
The FBR said this step will help ensure better compliance and improve tax collection. It also aims to bring more transparency to the sales tax process by linking businesses directly to the board’s real-time system.
