0082·The seller is not registered for sales tax

Buyer & seller identityOccasional

What this means

The registration number is well-formed but does not correspond to an active sales tax registration. Digital invoicing presupposes registration, so nothing can be submitted until this is resolved.

Why it happens

  • The registration is an income tax NTN without a sales tax registration attached.
  • The sales tax registration was suspended or cancelled.
  • A group or parent entity's number was configured rather than the operating entity's.

How to fix it

  1. 1Confirm the entity holds an active sales tax registration, not just an NTN.
  2. 2Verify the configured number belongs to the entity that actually issues the invoices.
  3. 3A suspended registration is a matter for FBR, not a code fix.

How Ordyoo handles this

Seller registration is validated during tenant onboarding, so this surfaces before any invoice is issued.
