The Pakistan Tax Bar Association (PTBA) has formally requested the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend the deadline for corporate sales taxpayers to complete electronic integration with the FBR’s system beyond June 1, 2025.
In a letter addressed to the FBR Chairman, the PTBA expressed full support for the government’s documentation and transparency initiative, which involves linking taxpayers’ hardware and software with the FBR’s computerized system through electronic invoicing (E-invoicing). This integration is to be carried out via licensed integrators or the Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL), as outlined under SRO 709(1)/2025 dated April 22, 2025.
Originally, corporate and individual tax filers were required to integrate by May 1 and June 1, 2025, respectively. These deadlines were later extended to June 1 for corporate and July 1 for individual taxpayers. However, the PTBA stated that despite these extensions, many corporate entities are still facing practical difficulties in completing the integration process.

The association believes that a short extension will support the government’s documentation drive and ensure smooth implementation of the integration process. This, in turn, will enhance the accuracy and reliability of economic activity disclosures and tax incidence reporting.
