Key Takeaways
- Licensed integrator is a defined FBR role
- Businesses should verify licence status on FBR's list
- Software and integration-provider roles may differ
- No approval claim should be accepted without official evidence
1. Licensed integrator definition
FBR's FAQs describe a licensed integrator as an entity licensed under the applicable Sales Tax Rules to integrate registered persons with FBR for electronic invoicing. This is a specific regulatory role, not a general marketing description for any software provider.
2. Why the role matters
FBR states that notified registered persons must integrate their POS, ERP or other invoicing system through a licensed integrator with a valid licence. The business software may prepare records and workflows, while the approved transmission route must still meet the current regulatory requirements.
3. How to verify a provider
Check the latest list on FBR's own website, confirm the exact legal entity and verify that the licence is current. Do not rely only on a logo, badge, advertisement or claim on a vendor website.
4. Questions to ask before integration
Ask who will provide the licensed-integrator service, which party handles sandbox and production onboarding, how rejected invoices are managed and where logs and references will be retained.
