Sales tax invoice vs FBR digital invoice: what is the difference?
A traditional sales tax invoice is a document you issue and later summarise in your monthly return. An FBR digital invoice is that same invoice reported to FBR at the moment it is issued, and returned with an official FBR invoice number and QR code.
Key points
- A traditional invoice is recorded by you and reconciled later in periodic returns.
- A digital invoice is transmitted to FBR in real time and validated before it is finalised.
- Only the digital invoice carries the FBR invoice number and QR code that prove it is registered.
- Digital invoicing reduces disputes over input tax because both parties can verify the invoice with FBR.
