Why it matters

What happens without FBR POS integration

If you are a Tier-1 retailer, FBR POS integration is required by the Sales Tax Act, 1990. These are the costs of waiting.

  • Rs 500,000Penalty for the first defaultIt grows to Rs 1 million, Rs 2 million and Rs 3 million for later defaults.
  • 60%Less input taxA Tier-1 retailer who is not integrated loses 60% of adjustable input tax for that period.
  • SealedShop and utilitiesFBR can seal the shop and ask to cut gas and electricity connections.
  • 24 hoursFor offline billsBills made during an outage must reach FBR within 24 hours after the system is back.

Source: Sales Tax Act 1990 sections 3(9A), 8B(6), 14AB and 33, and the Sales Tax Rules, 2006 (Chapter XIV). Rules change, so always check the latest on the FBR website. This is general guidance, not tax advice.

UpTrendPos + FBR

What our FBR POS integration does for your shop

UpTrendPos has it built in. There is no extra software to buy and nothing to install. You only add the details FBR gives you and turn it on.

FBR number and QR on every bill

Each bill goes to FBR and comes back with its FBR invoice number. The QR code prints on the receipt.

Re 1 POS fee added on its own

The FBR POS service fee is added to each FBR bill and shown on the receipt, so you never add it by hand.

Every counter set up

Each counter keeps its own POS registration and terminal ID, as FBR rules ask.

Practice, Sandbox and Live

Learn the bill in Practice mode, test with FBR Sandbox, then switch to Production when your details arrive.

Ready for load-shedding

Billing keeps running when the internet goes. Bills are kept safe and reported when the connection is back.

Stock, udhaar and accounts too

FBR is not a separate app. The same bill updates stock, customer khata, sales reports and accounts.

GST line without FBR

Registered for sales tax but not Tier-1? Turn on Local GST to show a GST line on bills without FBR.

More than one branch

Each branch and counter is set up with its own FBR details. The owner sees every branch in one account.

Safe FBR details

Your FBR token and keys stay inside your shop account. Only staff you allow can open FBR settings.

FBR invoices come with the Enterprise and Custom plans. Compare UpTrendPos plans

The FBR bill

What prints on an FBR invoice from UpTrendPos

FBR asks for a set format on every bill from an integrated counter. UpTrendPos prints all of it on thermal receipts and A4 invoices:

  • Shop name, NTN and STRN
  • POS ID of the counter
  • Your own invoice number, date and time
  • Each item with quantity and price
  • Value without tax, sales tax rate and amount
  • The Re 1 FBR POS fee
  • The FBR invoice number, in the format FBR gives (for example 123456-141026103512-0001)
  • A QR code made from the FBR invoice number, so buyers can verify the bill
  • Buyer details when the rules ask for them
Three modes

Practice, Sandbox and Production modes

You choose the mode in FBR settings. Start safe, test properly, then go live with confidence.

Load-shedding

FBR POS integration during load-shedding

Light and internet go off in every city. FBR rules allow for it: bills made during an outage must be marked as offline and sent to FBR within 24 hours after the system is back. If a shop stays cut off from FBR for too long, it can face action.

  • Billing keeps running offline on Windows and Android
  • Offline bills are kept safe on the device
  • They are reported to FBR when the internet returns
  • Connect your counters as soon as the internet is back
  • Keep a UPS for the router so short power cuts do not stop reporting
For buyers

Buyers can check your bill

Every FBR bill has a QR code. Buyers scan it with FBR's Tax Asaan app to see that the bill was reported. A verified bill builds trust with your customers.

The Re 1 POS fee is paid by the buyer, shown on the bill and paid to FBR with your monthly sales tax return.

Who needs it

Retailers who often need FBR POS integration

Tier-1 is about how you sell, not what you sell. These shops are often Tier-1 because they sit in malls, take cards or are part of a chain.

POS integration vs digital invoicing

FBR POS integration is not the same as digital invoicing

People mix these two up. Here is the simple difference.

FBR POS integration

  • For Tier-1 retailers selling at the counter
  • Every sale is reported to FBR as it happens
  • Bill shows FBR invoice number, QR and Re 1 fee
  • Under section 3(9A) of the Sales Tax Act
  • This is what UpTrendPos does today

Digital invoicing

  • For sales tax registered businesses, mostly business-to-business
  • Invoices to other registered buyers are sent to FBR
  • Separate rules under section 23 of the Sales Tax Act
  • Meeting one does not cover the other
  • Ask us if your business needs both
Why UpTrendPos

Separate FBR app vs built-in FBR POS integration

Many shops run their POS and their FBR reporting as two different things. That doubles the work and the mistakes.

FAQ

FBR POS integration questions

What is FBR POS integration?

FBR POS integration means your POS sends every sale to FBR as it happens. FBR sends back an invoice number, and your bill prints it with a QR code. It is required for Tier-1 retailers under the Sales Tax Act, 1990, so FBR can see retail sales in real time.

Who must get FBR POS integration?

Tier-1 retailers must integrate. You are Tier-1 if any one test applies: part of a chain, shop in an air-conditioned mall, electricity bills over Rs 1.2 million a year, wholesaler-cum-retailer, card machine at the counter, high 236G or 236H tax, or notified by FBR.

How do I get FBR POS integration with UpTrendPos?

Register in IRIS and get your POS details from FBR for each counter. Then enter them in UpTrendPos under FBR settings, test in Sandbox and switch to Production. Our team does the UpTrendPos part with you on WhatsApp and checks your first live bill.

What is the Re 1 POS fee?

It is a service fee of one rupee on every invoice from an FBR-integrated counter. The buyer pays it, it is shown on the bill, and you pay it to FBR with your monthly sales tax return. UpTrendPos adds it to each FBR bill on its own.

What happens if internet or light goes off?

You keep billing. Offline bills are kept on the device and reported to FBR when the internet is back. FBR rules say offline bills must reach FBR within 24 hours after the system is restored, so reconnect your counters as soon as you can.

What is the penalty for not integrating?

The penalty is Rs 500,000 for the first default, then Rs 1 million, Rs 2 million and Rs 3 million for later defaults. A non-integrated Tier-1 retailer also loses 60% of adjustable input tax, and FBR can seal the shop. Check the latest rules on fbr.gov.pk.

Is UpTrendPos approved by FBR?

UpTrendPos is POS software with FBR POS integration built in. It uses the official FBR system with the details FBR gives you, and FBR rules route integration through a licensed integrator such as PRAL. We do not claim to be FBR or an FBR department.

How can my customer check an FBR bill?

The customer scans the QR code on the bill with FBR's Tax Asaan app. The app shows whether the invoice was reported to FBR. This builds trust, because the buyer can see that the sales tax on the bill is real and recorded.

How much does FBR POS integration cost?

It is included in the UpTrendPos Enterprise and Custom plans. FBR does not charge for integration itself, and PRAL offers its integration service free. See the pricing page for plan prices and a 14-day free trial.

Can I use FBR on more than one counter or branch?

Yes. Register every counter in IRIS, then add each counter's FBR details in UpTrendPos. Each branch keeps its own stock and FBR setup, and the owner sees all branches from one account. Branch and user limits depend on your plan.

I am not Tier-1. Do I need this?

Not for the Tier-1 rule. But if you are registered for sales tax, other FBR rules such as digital invoicing may apply to you. You can also turn on the Local GST line to show sales tax on bills without FBR reporting. Ask us what fits your shop.
