Islamabad, December 2025 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has successfully integrated 10,858 Tier-1 retailers into its Point of Sales (POS) system, strengthening documentation of transactions for major retailers, particularly in the hotel and restaurant sector.
The move marks a significant step in the FBR’s ongoing efforts to broaden the tax base and improve compliance among large-scale businesses.
Growth in POS Registrations
In September 2025, the number of registered retailers stood at 10,562, indicating that 296 new Tier-1 retailers joined the POS system over the past two months.
The latest FBR data reveals:
• Total Tier-1 retailers integrated: 10,858
• Restaurants registered with POS: 813
• Leather and textile retailers: 505
This expansion ensures that high-value transactions from hotels, restaurants, textile shops, and leather stores are properly recorded, helping the FBR monitor business activities and enhance revenue collection.
The POS integration system also aims to improve transparency and curb tax evasion by making real-time sales reporting mandatory for Tier-1 retailers.
By widening the tax net, the FBR continues its mission to modernize Pakistan’s tax infrastructure while ensuring that major retail sectors contribute their fair share to national revenue. The move is expected to increase tax compliance, boost transparency in business operations, and encourage retailers to adopt digital reporting systems nationwide.
