PESHAWAR: The Sub-National Governance (SNG) Programme of the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) formally handed over Restaurant Invoice Management System (RIMS) pilot to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) in a graceful ceremony at a local hotel here in Peshawar.

This significant milestone marks a step forward in modernizing tax collection and reporting processes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. RIMS a digital platform developed under the guidance of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority, represents a groundbreaking initiative to strengthen tax administration. The pilot’s successful completion underscores KPRA’s commitment to utilizing technology to streamline business operations, foster greater accountability and enhance transparency within the public and private sectors.

The pilot programme, hosted on KPRA servers, enables real-time reporting of sales and the collection of sales tax from restaurants. This innovation eliminates the scaling-up challenges faced by the previous invoice reporting system, offering an inbuilt online Point of Sale (POS) system. RIMS comes equipped with features including a food ordering and table reservation Application branded as “Khatir,” end-to-end restaurant management capabilities, tax rebate options for orders made through RIMS, and both online and offline functionality to circumvent connectivity constraints.

Speaking at the occasion Director General KPRA Shah Mahmood welcomed the participants that included the officials of the KPRA department, representatives of business associations, media representatives, and teams from SNG KP and FCDO. He stressed the fact that efficient tax collection and facilitation is the prime objective of KPRA and RIMS is another step in making ease of doing business a reality in this province. Shah Mahmood especially praised the SNG team for making this project a success and hoped for continuity in support and cooperation in the future.
