A top sales tax expert recently shared that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has broadened the rules for filing stock statements and production data. Now, anyone involved in taxable supply will need to comply with these requirements.
Headline: FBR Expands Sales Tax Requirements for Businesses
The FBR has rolled out a new notification, introducing two additional forms called Annex H1. This move means more paperwork for manufacturers, commercial importers, distributors, and wholesalers, who will now have to submit monthly stock statements.

Previously, only specific industries or certain products had to follow these rules. But now, the FBR has expanded the scope significantly, making it mandatory for a much larger group of businesses to provide detailed production and stock data.
The stock statements will cover a range of information, such as the HS code (used for classifying goods), the unit of measurement, the applicable sales tax rate, and the opening and closing balances of goods for the month. Businesses will also need to report the quantity and value of goods purchased or imported during the month, as well as the goods supplied.

This change is part of the FBR’s efforts to improve transparency and oversight in the tax system. While it may mean more work for businesses, it’s will give better compliance and accuracy in reporting.
