What penalties can SRB impose on non-compliant businesses?

Under Section 43 of the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act 2011, SRB imposes monetary penalties for failure to register, failure to issue invoices, failure to file returns and suppression of sales. For e-invoicing non-compliance the penalty is up to Rs 1,000,000 and not less than Rs 100,000, with sealing of business premises and imprisonment of up to one year also available, effective July 2024. Recovery proceedings can include attachment of bank accounts.

How does an integrated POS protect against SRB penalties?

An SRB integrated POS removes the human failure points: every invoice is issued and transmitted automatically, the correct tax rate is applied per payment method, returns data is generated from real invoice records and nothing depends on staff remembering to comply. Sum Cloud POS keeps a complete audit trail SRB can verify.

Has SRB actually sealed restaurants in Karachi?

Yes. SRB enforcement teams have sealed restaurants and other service premises in Karachi for non-registration and non-compliance with e-invoicing requirements, alongside show-cause notices and penalty proceedings. Integration with a compliant POS is the reliable way to stay off the enforcement list.
