As Pakistan steps into a new era of digital tax compliance, two major players—EY Ford Rhodes and WebDNA—have officially received the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR)‘s stamp of approval as licensed e-invoicing integrators.
This move is part of FBR’s broader push to modernize the tax system, streamline compliance, and bring more transparency to the country’s business ecosystem. 💼📊
💡 What Does This Mean for Businesses in Pakistan?
With e-invoicing now becoming a mandatory compliance requirement for many businesses—especially retailers—this development offers much-needed clarity and support.
Here’s what businesses can expect:
- ✅ Seamless integration with FBR for both sales tax and income tax compliance.
- 🔧 End-to-end support for system setup, testing, and troubleshooting.
- 🧾 Automated digital invoicing directly aligned with FBR’s regulatory framework.
- 🔍 Improved audit trails and transparency in financial reporting.
🤝 EY Ford Rhodes: Leading the Compliance Charge
In a LinkedIn post, Aamir Younas, Partner Tax at EY Ford Rhodes, called this a major milestone:
“This enables us to seamlessly integrate businesses with the FBR for both sales tax and income tax compliance.”
As one of the most trusted names in tax advisory and compliance services in Pakistan, EY Ford Rhodes is now positioned to offer an all-in-one e-invoicing solution, designed to build trust, reliability, and ease for taxpayers.
🌐 WebDNA: The Tech Muscle Behind Compliance
The second licensee, WebDNA, brings its deep technical expertise in digital integrations to the table. As an official e-invoicing integrator, WebDNA will now help businesses connect their Point-of-Sale (POS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to FBR’s e-invoicing network.
