The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has authorized two firms—EY Ford Rhodes and WebDNA—to operate as official e-invoicing integrators in Pakistan.
According to sources, the decision allows both companies to facilitate the integration of businesses with FBR’s e-invoicing system, aimed at improving tax compliance and streamlining documentation processes.
Aamir Younas, Partner – Tax at EY Ford Rhodes, shared on LinkedIn that the move marks a significant development in Pakistan’s digital tax ecosystem. He noted that the integration will assist businesses in aligning with sales tax and income tax reporting requirements through a single platform. EY will offer both technical and advisory support as part of this initiative.

This licensing initiative targets retailers and other business sectors that are required to connect directly with the FBR’s systems for electronic invoicing.
Tax Impact:
- Improved Compliance: The integration will make it easier for businesses to comply with tax laws by automating invoicing and linking transactions directly to FBR databases.
- Reduced Tax Evasion: E-invoicing minimizes the chances of underreporting sales, thereby strengthening revenue collection and reducing leakages in the tax system.
- Greater Efficiency: With firms like EY and WebDNA offering end-to-end support, businesses—especially SMEs—will find it easier to transition to electronic compliance.
- Enhanced Transparency: Real-time data sharing with FBR will likely increase trust and accountability within the tax ecosystem.
