What is TaxBridge?

TaxBridge is a unified API platform that lets any POS, ERP, accounting, restaurant, retail or e-commerce system integrate with Pakistan’s tax authorities — FBR, PRA, SRB and KPRA — through a single canonical invoice API, one sandbox, one production environment and one developer dashboard, instead of building and maintaining four separate integrations.

Why TaxBridge

Tax Integration Without the Complexity

Every authority speaks a different dialect — different field names, casing, money identities, success codes and TLS quirks. Build four times, or build once.

Direct integration

Integrating each authority yourself

  • Learn four different APIs and documentation sets
  • Handle four authentication schemes and money identities
  • Manage separate sandbox and production environments
  • Implement four request formats and parse four responses
  • Track four sets of success codes and error quirks
  • Maintain, monitor and troubleshoot four integrations
  • Rebuild when any authority changes its API
With TaxBridge

One integration, every authority

  • One API and one documentation portal
  • One authentication approach (tbk_live_ / tbk_test_ keys)
  • One sandbox and one production environment
  • One canonical invoice payload and one response envelope
  • Normalized errors and a single status vocabulary
  • One dashboard for logs, usage, monitoring and support
  • Authority changes absorbed by TaxBridge, not your code

Coverage

One Platform for Pakistan Tax Authorities

Federal goods tax and three provincial services authorities — all behind the same endpoint.

Built for existing software

Add Tax Compliance to the Software You Already Ship

TaxBridge is an API layer — no rip-and-replace. Keep your product; add one HTTP call.

Architecture

Build Once, Integrate More

Your software talks to TaxBridge. TaxBridge talks to every authority.

Platform

Everything a Serious Integration Needs

🧪

Sandbox & simulator

Build and test end-to-end before any authority issues real credentials. The simulator answers locally with deterministic test cases — no network call.

🚀

Production environment

Separate production keys and credentials. A sandbox key never works against production, and sandbox never consumes production quota.

🔑

Scoped API keys

Keys are scoped to an environment (test/live) and optionally to one authority. Shown once, stored as a SHA-256 hash.

🔄

Idempotent submission

An Idempotency-Key makes retries safe — a completed key replays the stored response, consuming no quota and making no upstream call.

📊

Usage, quotas & overage

Per-authority monthly limits with clear overage pricing, usage dashboards and alerts before you hit the cap.

📡

Webhooks

Signed webhook payloads deliver asynchronous status so your system updates without polling.

📋

Request logs & monitoring

Full request/response history and an authority health monitor — one place to debug every submission.

🏢

Multi-company & multi-branch

Software providers manage many customer companies and branches, each with isolated credentials and quota.

🔒

Encrypted credentials

Authority credentials are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest and never returned to the client.

Developer experience

Everything Your Developer Needs in One Place

Developers shouldn’t jump between four tax-authority portals, documentation pages and test environments just to build an integration.

  • Documentation, sandbox and API credentials
  • Test invoices, request logs and normalized error info
  • Production setup, usage monitoring and support
  • Runnable cURL, JavaScript, PHP, Python, C# and Java samples

Integration timeline

From Development to Tax Integration in Hours, Not Weeks

With one API, in-context documentation and a sandbox simulator, a prepared team can reach a working integration in about two hours. Real go-live time still depends on your architecture, invoice workflow, credentials and business setup.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to integrate each tax authority separately?
No. You integrate once against one canonical invoice shape. TaxBridge routes each invoice to the correct authority (FBR, PRA, SRB or KPRA) with the right format, credentials and success codes.
Can I integrate my existing POS or ERP?
Yes. TaxBridge is an API layer you call from your existing software — you keep your product and add one HTTP request per invoice.
Is sandbox testing available before I have real credentials?
Yes. Turn on the built-in simulator for a sandbox credential and submissions are answered locally with no network call, so you can build your whole integration before an authority responds to you.
What happens if a tax authority changes its API?
TaxBridge absorbs authority-side changes in its integration layer. Your canonical payload and the response envelope stay the same, so your code usually does not change.
Who provides technical support?
The Meta Sum team supports TaxBridge integrations. Every plan includes email support, and higher plans add priority support and dedicated onboarding.
