Sandbox scenario · SN019

Services rendered or provided

The general services sale type, covering service invoices that carry no federal excise element. Every Service Provider profile is assigned this one, and so is any profile registered in the Services sector.

What to send

These strings are matched by FBR's API. Send them exactly as published — including any irregular spacing or punctuation, which is deliberate and not a typo.

FBR description
Services rendered or provided

scenarioId is sandbox-only. It is required on sandbox submissions and must be omitted from production invoices — FBR derives the treatment from the sale type once you are live.

Who has to pass SN019

FBR assigns scenarios from your sales tax profile — your business activity and your sector. 20 of the 104 possible profiles are assigned this one.

  • Manufacturer Services
  • Importer Services
  • Distributor Services
  • Wholesaler Services
  • Exporter Services
  • Retailer Services
  • Service Provider every sector
  • Other Services

You should not have to hand-type SN019

We are building a free FBR digital invoicing app that works out which scenarios your profile needs, fills them in, shows you exactly what will be sent, and submits them to the sandbox on one button. Tell us if you want it.
