SN018·Services where federal excise is charged in sales tax mode
Services
Sale type
Services (FED in ST Mode)Submit this string verbatim. FBR compares the sale type literally — a normalised, retyped, or re-cased variant is rejected even when everything else on the line is correct.
What it covers
Services subject to federal excise collected through the sales tax mechanism.
Who needs to test this
Service providers, and other activities registered in the services sector.
Payload notes
- Certain rates on this sale type require a specific unit of measurement and will reject any other.
- Service classifications apply rather than goods HS codes.
Common pitfalls
- The unit constraint is rate-specific rather than sale-type-wide, so it only appears once you select the affected rate.
