SECP Proposes Centralized UBO Registry to Promote Corporate Transparency

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has formally authorised four companies to support the legal integration of retailers with its Digital Invoice System, as per Sales Tax Circular No. 1 of 2025 issued on Friday.

According to the notification, all retailers and businesses mandated to issue digital invoices must now engage one of the approved licensed integrators for system integration. The FBR has designated the following companies as licensed integrators:

• Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL)

• Haball (Pvt) Ltd

• EY (Pvt) Ltd

• WebDNAworks (Pvt) Ltd

Notably, PRAL will offer its integration services at no cost.

The circular further mandates that all registered entities obligated to generate digital invoices must first connect their hardware and software systems with the FBR’s centralised platform via a licensed integrator.

Retailers are instructed to visit the FBR’s digital invoicing portal, choose an authorised integrator, and commence the integration process accordingly.

Additionally, the FBR has directed all licensed integrators to adopt a prompt and efficient response system to handle integration requests through the portal.
