The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has introduced a new IRIS e-Payment system to streamline the process of paying taxes online. This includes the payment of Sales Tax Withheld (STWH). Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make an STW challan using this system:

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Access the IRIS e-Payment Portal:
   
   • Visit the FBR’s IRIS e-Payment portal.
2. Enter Taxpayer Information:
   
   • Enter your valid NTN (National Tax Number) or CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) number.
   • Enter the captcha code.
   • Click “Search” to proceed.
3. Select Tax Type:
   
   • From the left-hand menu, select “Withholding” > “Sales Tax Withheld.”
4. Enter Taxpayer Details:
   
   • Enter the details of the taxpayer for whom you are making the payment, including their NTN, name, and other relevant information.
   • Amount of Sales Tax Charged and amount which is withheld as Sales Tax Deducted.
   • Mention No. of Invoices.
5. Provide Payment Details:
   
   • Enter the total amount of Sales Tax Withheld.
   • Enter the amount against “B-02341 Supplies” or “B-02366 Services”
   • Select the tax year and tax month for which the payment is being made.
6. Attach Payment File (Optional):
   
   • If you have a file containing the details of the invoices and tax deducted, you can attach it here.
   • If the number of particulars are more, one can upload an attachment sheet in excel file in prescribed format (format available in the attachment tab).
7. Review and Submit:
   
   • Review all the entered information to ensure accuracy.
   • Click the “Submit” button to proceed to the payment gateway.
8. Make Payment:
   
   • Select your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card, debit card, internet banking).
   • Enter the required payment details and complete the transaction.

Important Considerations:

• Accurate Information: Ensure that all information entered is accurate to avoid errors and delays. Always double check the entries.
• Payment Confirmation: After successful payment, you will receive a payment confirmation slip. Sales Tax Returns can be filed after all the taxes are paid,  and relevant CPRs are selected.
• Record Keeping: Keep a record of the payment confirmation for future reference.

By following these steps, you can efficiently make Sales Tax Withheld payments through the FBR’s IRIS e-Payment system. Alternatively the old payment option are still valid.
