Why was my invoice rejected?

Reading FBR's message and fixing the invoice.

The invoice page shows FBR's message in plain language and, when possible, how to fix it. Common causes:

  • Buyer details: NTN/CNIC format, province, or registration type not matching FBR.
  • HS code and unit: the FBR unit must be one allowed for the HS code.
  • Rate and sale type: the rate must belong to the sale type and your province.
  • SRO references: reduced-rate and exempt supplies may need an SRO schedule and item.

After correcting the cause, submit the invoice again. FBR registered nothing for a rejected invoice, so it is not reported twice.
