The change

The Finance Act, 2025 (Act No. 7 of 2025), published in the Gazette of Pakistan (Extraordinary) on 26 June 2026, amends section 23(1) of the Sales Tax Act 1990 so that every registered person making a taxable or exempt supply must issue a tax invoice — including a new "advance receipt invoice" document type — bearing a verifiable and unique FBR invoice number generated through the electronic invoicing system. The Act provides that the FBR invoice number condition applies from a date to be notified separately by the Board.
