What is FBR Digital Invoicing?
FBR Digital Invoicing is Pakistan's system for reporting sales tax invoices to the Federal Board of Revenue electronically, in real time, at the moment each invoice is issued. Instead of only filing a monthly return, registered businesses transmit every invoice to FBR and receive back a unique invoice number and a QR code that make the invoice officially verified.
Key points
- It applies to sales tax invoices issued by registered persons, transmitted to FBR through its Digital Invoicing system.
- FBR validates each invoice and returns a unique FBR invoice number plus a QR code that is printed on the document.
- The goal is to reduce tax fraud, remove fake or flying invoices, and give buyers a way to verify an invoice is genuine.
- It is often called e-invoicing, digital invoicing or DI, and is rolled out in phases across different categories of business.
