The FBR has issued Sales Tax General Order Nos. 12, 13 and 14 of 2026 to address practical difficulties arising from the implementation of recent reforms in the iron and steel industry. The measures deal with voluntary corporatization, correction of registration records and identification of manufacturers entitled to the electricity-based sales tax regime.
Under STGO No. 12, eight newly incorporated steel companies were added to the voluntary corporatization arrangement after verification of the prescribed procedures. STGO No. 13 subsequently corrected the name of one company appearing in the earlier order, while leaving its registration, location and identification particulars unchanged.
STGO No. 14 contains the list of 99 manufacturers eligible to pay sales tax at Rs5 per unit of electricity consumed. These measures indicate that the FBR is seeking to encourage formal corporate structures, improve registration accuracy and bring eligible steel manufacturers under an integrated and closely monitored taxation system.
