Sales Tax Biometric Verification in Pakistan (2025): What You Must Know Before July 31st
If you’re registered for Sales Tax in Pakistan—whether as an individual, an AOP (Association of Persons), or a Single-Member Company—there’s an important legal requirement you must fulfill every year.
As per SRO 350(I)/2024, biometric identification is required from 1st July to 31st July every year.
This means that you must go to your local E-Sahulat Center and complete the biometric so that you may maintain your sales tax registration up to date and compliant with FBR.
Who Has to Do This?
The following all have to get their biometric verification done:
- Individuals registered under Sales Tax
- Association of Persons (AOPs)
- Single Member Companies (SMCs)
Where Do You Go?
You need to go to any closest E-Sahulat Centre (run by NADRA) for personal biometric verification.
Which Documents Must You Bring?
Bring the following to finish the process:
- Your original CNIC
- A copy of your original National Tax Number (NTN) document
Without these, you won’t be able to complete your verification.
What’s the Deadline?
The last date is July 31st, 2025.
This is an official deadline and remains the case every year forward unless FBR reverses the policy.
What If You Don’t Obey?
If you fail to obtain your biometric verification before the deadline:
- Your case may be marked “pending approval” by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue
- Your status of compliance may be delayed
- You are facing issues in filing returns, getting refunds, or staying on the Active Taxpayer List (Sales Tax ATL)
- Suspension of Sales Tax Registration in the event of non-compliance
It’s not a routine—it’s a crucial part of keeping your tax records in order.
The Significance of Biometric Verification
This verification was integrated by FBR to:
- Enhance documentation and compliance by preventing fake or inactive registrations.
- Reduce tax evasion and enhance the tracking of tax revenue.
It ensures that every sales tax filer is legitimate and active.
