Input tax credit claimable without a valid IRN

FBR e-invoicing is mandatory under Rule 150Q (SRO 1852(I)/2025), phased in for all sales-tax-registered businesses through 31 December 2025. Enforcement is active now — invoices issued without a valid FBR invoice number can be penalised.

Reported penalties under the Sales Tax Act 1990 (with provisions strengthened by the Finance Act 2024) include PKR 500,000 for a first default for failing to integrate with the digital invoicing system, escalating for repeated defaults up to PKR 3,000,000, alongside disallowance of input tax for your buyers. Confirm your specific obligations and amounts with FBR or a qualified tax advisor.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your business is registered under the Sales Tax Act 1990 and you are a manufacturer, importer, wholesaler, distributor, or corporate entity with turnover above PKR 100M, then yes — it is legally mandatory under Rule 150Q. FBR began enforcing penalties in January 2026.

IRN (Invoice Reference Number) is a unique 27-digit number issued by PRAL (FBR's technology arm) when your invoice is validated. Without an IRN, your invoice is not legally recognized and your buyer cannot claim input tax credit.

PRAL (Pakistan Revenue Automation Ltd.) is FBR's IT subsidiary that operates the e-invoice gateway. Yes — InvoiceFlow sends every invoice directly to PRAL's API in real time and returns the IRN to you immediately.

No. InvoiceFlow handles all the technical integration with FBR. You just create your invoice like a normal form, click Submit, and we handle the rest.

If you issue a sales tax invoice without integrating with FBR's digital invoicing system, the invoice is not validated by FBR's system and will not carry a valid unique FBR invoice number (IRN) or compliant QR code. Under the Sales Tax Act 1990 (with penalty provisions strengthened by the Finance Act 2024), FBR can impose a penalty of PKR 500,000 for a first default for failing to integrate, escalating for repeated defaults up to PKR 3,000,000 — and your buyers' input tax credit can be put at risk. InvoiceFlow submits your invoices through FBR's official PRAL gateway so each invoice is properly verified. This is general information, not tax or legal advice; confirm your obligations with FBR or a tax advisor.

Yes. InvoiceFlow supports FBR-compliant credit notes and debit notes — each with their own IRN.
