PRA and FBR: who taxes what in Punjab
Sales tax on goods is federal and goes to FBR. Sales tax on services, which includes restaurants, goes to the Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA). Islamabad is not part of Punjab: services there are taxed by FBR.
- FBRComing soon
Federal Board of Revenue
Federal sales tax on goods, and the POS link FBR asks Tier-1 retailers to use.
When the FBR add-on is live, each sale goes to FBR and the receipt prints the FBR invoice number and QR code. Until then Tajir Point records the tax on every bill and gives you tax reports, but does not send invoices to FBR.

How PRA's invoice link (e-IMS) works
PRA's site offers e-IMS services and a technical guide for linking a POS. The guide, published by PRA's technology partner PRAL, describes a software fiscal device: a small program installed on the same computer as the POS. Each bill goes to it in real time, it returns a fiscal invoice number, and the POS prints that number with a QR code on the receipt. The fiscal device then sends the recorded invoices to PRA's online system in the background.
Before that, each POS is registered on PRA's portal, branch by branch. PRA's e-IMS page also lets anyone look up an invoice by its number.
Tajir Point does not do any of this yet. It records the tax on every bill and gives you tax reports, so your adviser has the numbers, but it does not print a PRA fiscal invoice number or send invoices to PRA. Which businesses PRA asks to link, and from when, is for PRA or your tax adviser to confirm.
- Register each POS, per branch, on PRA's portal
- Fiscal device on the POS computer returns a fiscal invoice number
- Fiscal invoice number and QR code printed on the receipt
- Invoices sent on to PRA's online system
Multan and south Punjab
Multan's trade leans towards agricultural inputs and wholesale: seed, fertiliser and spray dealers, grain and cloth traders, and the shops that serve them. Much of it is sold on credit. A khata per farmer or dealer with a credit limit and 30/60/90-day aging shows who has owed you the longest, and statements on WhatsApp save the walk to collect.
Units of measure let you buy by the bag or carton and sell by the kilo or piece without breaking the stock count.
Gujranwala and the GT Road towns
Gujranwala mixes small manufacturers and dealers with a busy food trade. Workshops that sell to dealers need price lists, batches and credit limits; restaurants need the order to reach the kitchen once and the bill to split cleanly. Both run on the same system, in Urdu or English.
Punjab cities with their own page
These cities have a page of their own because their trade is different. Rawalpindi is covered with Islamabad, since the twin cities answer to different tax authorities for services.

Questions from businesses in Punjab
Is Tajir Point integrated with PRA?
No, not yet. Tajir Point records the tax on every bill and gives you tax reports, but it does not connect to PRA's e-IMS, print a PRA fiscal invoice number or send invoices to PRA. If PRA has asked your business to link its POS, talk to us before you switch.
What does a PRA-linked POS print on the receipt?
PRA's technical guide says the fiscal device returns a fiscal invoice number for each bill, and the POS prints that number with a QR code on the receipt. PRA's e-IMS page lets anyone look up an invoice by number (checked 5 Nov 2026).
Does PRA apply to my shop or only to restaurants?
PRA collects sales tax on services in Punjab, and restaurants are a service. Shops that sell goods deal with FBR for sales tax. Many businesses do both, so ask PRA or your tax adviser which rules apply to you.
Is the FBR integration ready?
The FBR add-on is coming soon. Until it is live, Tajir Point records the tax on every bill, prints your NTN and STRN on invoices and gives you tax reports, but it does not send invoices to FBR. If you are a Tier-1 retailer who must be connected to FBR today, talk to us before you switch.
Can my staff use it in Urdu?
Yes. Every screen can be switched to Urdu or English, and receipts print in Urdu by default for Pakistani shops. Arabic is there too.
