Pakistan's FBR Digital Invoicing Software

FBR digital invoicing is a mandatory e-invoicing system introduced by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Pakistan's board of revenue, requiring sales tax registered businesses to electronically generate and transmit invoices to the PRAL server in real-time. Under SRO 709 and subsequent notifications, every qualifying sale must produce a structured electronic invoicing record validated by PRAL before it is legally recognized for input tax purposes.

All sales tax registered persons above the prescribed turnover threshold must integrate their invoicing solution with FBR through a licensed integrator. This includes manufacturers above PKR 100M annual turnover, importers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers. Non-compliance with mandatory e-invoicing can result in penalties under the Sales Tax Act.

Taxonomy connects your digital invoicing software to FBR's system through PRAL, the government platform that runs the central e-invoicing server. We handle invoice data transmission, real-time validation, and IRN capture so your business stays compliant without managing the technical infrastructure yourself.

When you generate an invoice in Taxonomy, the invoice data is automatically structured into FBR's required invoice formats and transmitted to the PRAL server via secure API. Real-time validation checks tax calculations, buyer STRN, and invoice processing rules. The server returns a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) verified using digital signatures, which is what makes your invoice legally valid under current FBR rules.

Taxonomy is a complete, standalone invoicing app rather than a plug-in for another system. You create and manage your invoices, products, and customers inside Taxonomy, and it syncs each invoice to FBR through PRAL automatically. To get started quickly, you can bulk-import your existing product catalogue and customer list (for example from a spreadsheet) during onboarding, so you are not re-entering everything by hand. Most businesses go live within 3-5 working days.

Yes. FBR has made e-invoicing mandatory for registered taxpayers above the specified threshold. Tax compliance requires every qualifying invoice to carry a PRAL-issued IRN. Without it, your buyer cannot claim input tax adjustment. Taxonomy ensures every invoice you issue meets FBR's digital invoicing and sales tax requirements automatically.
