MandatoryFBR DIGITAL INVOICING
Every sales-tax-registered business must now issue its invoices through FBR's digital invoicing system. We register you, pass FBR's test stage, map your items and go live, then keep your invoices and sales tax returns in step.
WHY NOW
FBR's phased go-live ended on 31 December 2025, so every sales-tax-registered person is now required to issue digital invoices. Failing to integrate is penalised under section 33 of the Sales Tax Act, and the penalty grows every 15 days.
Since the Finance Act 2026, FBR can also suspend the sales tax registration of a business that has not integrated.
HOW IT WORKS
We set up your digital invoicing profile in FBR's IRIS portal and request your sandbox (test) credentials.
KLAYour company details, customers with their NTN or CNIC, and each item with its HS code and unit of measure.
KLA with youWe post test invoices for every scenario that applies to your business until FBR accepts them all.
KLAWith your production credentials active, each invoice is checked, then posted to FBR and printed with its FBR number and QR code.
You, with our trainingWe keep your digital invoices, credit and debit notes and monthly sales tax return in line, and fix problems when FBR rejects an invoice.
KLAWHO IT IS FOR
NO SOFTWARE YET
If you invoice from Excel, Word or a book, you get a simple online invoicing workspace that talks to FBR.
ALREADY ON ERP
Your ERPNext sales invoices post to FBR when you submit them, so nobody types an invoice twice.
FOR ACCOUNTANTS
Run digital invoicing for several client companies, each kept separate with its own credentials and history.
FEATURES
Search the HS code when you set up an item and pick a unit of measure that FBR accepts for it.
Check a buyer's NTN or CNIC against FBR's taxpayer status before you invoice.
Every invoice is validated first, with errors explained in plain language, so mistakes are fixed before they reach FBR.
Posted invoices print with the FBR invoice number and the QR code your buyer can verify.
Import your customers, your items with their HS codes and units, and your invoices in bulk from Excel or a Google Sheet, instead of typing them one by one.
Sales register, sales tax summary and a list of invoices that need attention.
Practise in FBR's sandbox without touching live records, then switch to production.
Your FBR tokens are stored out of everyday screens and are never shown to ordinary users.
WHY KLA
Most providers sell you a login and leave the tax side to you. KLA has handled sales tax and income tax since 2001, so the invoices, the returns and the replies to FBR all come from one team.

Every person registered for sales tax, corporate or not, must issue sales invoices electronically and transmit them to FBR in real time under Chapter XIV of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006. FBR brought businesses in by category, and the last category went live on 31 December 2025.
Under section 33 of the Sales Tax Act, Rs 500,000 for the first default, then Rs 1 million, Rs 2 million and Rs 3 million at 15-day intervals, after which premises can be sealed. The Finance Act 2026 also lets FBR suspend the registration of a business that has not integrated.
No. FBR's own technology arm, PRAL, provides the connection, and your invoices are posted using your own FBR sandbox and production credentials. We set these up for you; commercial integrators are an option, not a requirement.
Before FBR issues live (production) credentials, you must post test invoices in its sandbox for each scenario that applies to your business, such as sales to registered or unregistered buyers, reduced-rate or exempt goods. We prepare and pass these tests with you.
Your details, the buyer's NTN or CNIC and registration status, each item's HS code and unit of measure, quantity, value, and the sales tax rate or scenario that applies. Once these are set up, invoicing is quick.
FBR's general order allows a valid e-invoice to be cancelled or corrected for a genuine mistake only within 72 hours of generation. After that, changes need the Commissioner's approval, so the check-before-posting step matters.
No. The invoicing workspace works on its own in your browser. If you already use ERPNext, your invoices can post to FBR directly from it instead.
Your business keeps ownership of its invoices and records, and your FBR credentials are kept out of everyday screens. If you ever leave, your data stays yours.
