FBR-Integrated ERP for Pakistani Businesses — NexoERP
Stay 100% FBR-compliant, automate digital invoicing, and manage your entire business from a single platform.
FBR Digital Invoicing is Now Mandatory — Is Your ERP Ready?
Since August 2025, under SRO 709(I)/2025, every sales-tax-registered business in Pakistan is legally required to electronically submit every invoice to FBR in real time. This is not optional — it applies to manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and service businesses across the country.
Non-compliant businesses face financial penalties, blocked input tax adjustments, and potential suspension of their sales tax registration. The recently proposed SRO 288(I)/2026 expands these requirements further to cover income tax, service businesses, and CCTV monitoring at POS terminals.
NexoERP handles this automatically — so your team keeps working exactly as before, while every invoice reaches FBR without lifting a finger.
How NexoERP's FBR Integration Works
When a sale is recorded in NexoERP, the invoice is automatically structured in FBR's required format and transmitted via PRAL API in real time. The system returns a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and prints the QR code on the customer receipt. No manual steps. No separate software.

Frequently Asked Questions — FBR ERP Integration
Yes. Since August 2025, under SRO 709(I)/2025, all sales-tax-registered businesses in Pakistan are required to electronically transmit every invoice to FBR in real time. Non-compliance can result in penalties, blocked tax refunds, and business registration suspension.
PRAL (Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited) is FBR's technology partner that manages the electronic invoicing infrastructure. NexoERP connects directly to PRAL's API so that every invoice is automatically transmitted in the required format — no manual uploads, no separate software needed.
NexoERP manages FBR sales tax invoicing, withholding tax under Section 236, advance income tax, SRB (Sindh), PRA (Punjab), KPRA (KP) provincial taxes, EOBI payroll deductions, and PESSI deductions — all from one unified system.
Absolutely. NexoERP handles both business-to-business and business-to-consumer invoicing. Whether you issue bulk invoices to distributors or point-of-sale receipts to walk-in customers, each transaction is transmitted to FBR with the correct format and tax treatment.
Businesses that fail to comply with FBR digital invoicing face financial penalties, potential suspension of their sales tax registration, blocked input tax adjustments, and inability to claim tax refunds. The penalties increase for continued non-compliance under the latest SRO 288(I)/2026 rules.
