FBR digital invoicing penalty calculator

Estimate the exposure for failing to issue — or transmitting late — a digital invoice under Section 33 of the Sales Tax Act 1990, read with Chapter XIV of the Sales Tax Rules 2006 (SRO 69(I)/2025, SRO 1413(I)/2025, SRO 1852(I)/2025).

Total sales tax on the invoice(s) not issued digitally.

Days an invoice stayed untransmitted or rejected after issuance.

Estimated exposure

PKR 50,000

How this is calculated. Licensed integrators cite a fine of PKR 50,000 or 2% of the tax involved (whichever is greater) for failure to issue a digital invoice, and PKR 25,000 per day for late or rejected transmission. Published sources disagree on the exact statutory wording, so treat this as an estimate. This is not legal advice; confirm with your tax advisor or the current text of the Sales Tax Act.

Muhasib transmits every invoice to FBR the moment you issue it — so this number stays at zero.
