Pakistan's tax authority now mandates real-time invoice reporting for registered businesses. Here's how we got compliant in 90 days.
If you're a sales-tax-registered supplier in Pakistan, FBR's e-invoicing regime is no longer optional. Every invoice you issue must be reported in real time and carry a QR code linking to its FBR record.
We spent Q4 2025 wiring our ERP to push every invoice to the IRIS system the moment it posts. The work isn't trivial — schemas change, retries need idempotency keys, and the QR encoding has its own gotchas.
The benefit, beyond compliance, is that your customers' input-tax claims clear faster. Distributors and farms that buy from us no longer chase missing GD numbers at the end of the quarter.
If you're a supplier looking to integrate, the spec is on the FBR site. Budget 60–90 days for a clean rollout, and test against the sandbox aggressively before flipping production.
