The change

The Finance Act 2026-27, signed by the President on 26 June 2026 and effective 1 July 2026, expands the Sales Tax Act 1990 Third Schedule (retail-price-basis sales tax) to confectionery, pasta, sauces, plastics, utensils, sanitary items, cosmetics, footwear and more, and mandates that all sales-tax-registered taxpayers integrate with the FBR e-invoicing and production-monitoring systems, with suspension or blacklisting for non-compliance.
