ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has notified a list of registered businesses that will be required to submit their sales tax invoices electronically.

A sales tax notification SRO28 was issued to enforce the decision from Feb 1.

However, the affected businesses can apply for an extension if they can provide a valid reason to the commissioner of Inland Revenue.

The decision will apply to all importers and manufacturers of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs), all wholesalers (including dealers), distributors of FMCGs, and all wholesaler-cum-retailers invol­ved in the bulk import and supply of FMCGs to retailers.
