How businesses in Pakistan invoice and get paid

Pakistani invoices show the supplier's NTN (National Tax Number) and STRN for sales-tax-registered businesses, and buyers frequently deduct withholding tax at source, so the amount received is often less than the invoice face value — suppliers reconcile via withholding certificates. Payments move by bank transfer over IBFT or the state-backed Raast instant payment system, with cheques still customary for formal corporate payments. Federal sales tax applies to goods at 18%, while services are taxed provincially at roughly 13-16% depending on the province (Punjab, Sindh, KP or Balochistan), so the correct authority depends on where the service is rendered. Invoices are issued in English and PKR.

Why Pakistan businesses choose Xuvilo

What's on every Pakistan invoice

How to create a Pakistan invoice in three steps

Step 1. Open the Pakistan invoice generator. Currency and tax are pre-loaded for you. Fill in your business details and logo; signed in, the company profile you save under Settings fills them in for you.

Step 2. Add your customer and your line items. Quantity, unit price and tax update the totals automatically. Switch language between Arabic & English as needed; Xuvilo flips the layout to RTL or LTR for you.

Step 3. Click "Download PDF". Your Pakistan invoice is generated as a print-ready A4 file in PKR, ready to email to the client or attach to your accounting system.

Tax in Pakistan

Pakistan applies 18% GST on most invoiced goods and services, so Xuvilo defaults the tax rate to 18% GST on the Pakistan invoice. You can override the rate per line, exclude exempt items, or add multiple tax components if your business requires it.

The tax authority responsible for Pakistan is Federal Board of Revenue (FBR); provincial authorities (PRA, SRB, KPRA, BRA) for services tax. There is no general turnover exemption for sales-tax registration on taxable goods supplies (cottage-industry carve-outs aside), and service providers register with their provincial authority — verify your specific obligation with the FBR or the relevant provincial revenue authority.

E-invoicing rules in Pakistan

Pakistan is phasing in mandatory digital invoicing under FBR rules (notably SRO 709 of 2025), requiring sales-tax-registered businesses to integrate their systems with the FBR and issue electronically reported invoices carrying an FBR invoice number and QR code — corporate registered persons first, followed by non-corporate ones. Large retailers were already required to connect point-of-sale systems to the FBR's real-time reporting regime. Timelines have been extended several times, so verify current integration deadlines with the FBR.

Beyond invoices — quotations and receipts for Pakistan

Xuvilo isn't only an invoice generator. The same business profile powers a free quotation generator for sending price quotes before a deal is signed, a free receipt generator for confirming payments after they're made, and a 859 template library for industry-specific designs. Most Pakistan businesses go through quote → invoice → receipt for every project, and Xuvilo covers all three.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pakistan

What sales tax rate applies on Pakistani invoices?

Goods attract federal sales tax at a standard 18% under FBR administration, while services are taxed by the provinces at rates around 13% to 16% — for example under the Punjab Revenue Authority or the Sindh Revenue Board. Your invoice should show your NTN and, if registered, your STRN.

Is e-invoicing mandatory in Pakistan?

The FBR is rolling out mandatory digital invoicing that requires registered businesses to integrate with FBR systems and issue invoices bearing an FBR number and QR code, starting with corporate taxpayers. Deadlines have shifted repeatedly, so confirm your integration date with the FBR.

How do Pakistani freelancers get paid by foreign clients?

Export of IT and IT-enabled services enjoys concessional tax treatment when proceeds are remitted through banking channels, so invoice in USD and receive funds via wire transfer or home-remittance-friendly channels into a Pakistani bank account. Keep your PRC (Proceeds Realisation Certificate) from the bank as evidence for the concessional rate.

Why did my client pay less than the invoice amount?

Pakistani corporate buyers act as withholding agents and deduct income tax (and sometimes sales tax withholding) at source before paying suppliers. Request the withholding certificate or check your FBR Maloomat portal so you can claim the deducted amounts against your annual tax liability.
