The RIMS Advantage: KP restaurants with RIMS installed and operational pay 5% sales tax instead of 8%. On Rs 1,000,000 monthly sales that is Rs 30,000 saved every month -- far more than the cost of the POS.

What is KPRA RIMS

The Restaurant Invoice Monitoring System -- Explained

RIMS is the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority's real-time invoice monitoring platform, launched in 2021 and now installed in restaurants across the province. It gives KPRA live access to sales and tax-collection data, and gives compliant restaurants a lower tax rate in return.

KPRA expects taxable service providers in KP to:

  • Register with KPRA and obtain a KNTN (KP sales tax registration number)
  • Issue verifiable invoices with QR codes on every transaction
  • Transmit sales data to RIMS in real time through an integrated POS
  • File monthly returns by the 18th of the following month

Sum Cloud POS handles all of it automatically. KPRA teams have served integration notices to restaurants across the province -- integrating early keeps you compliant and gets you the 5% rate sooner.

How It Works

How RIMS Integration Works in Sum Cloud POS

Built on the official KPRA RIMS API -- fully automatic on every sale

1
Sale Completed in POS

Cashier or waiter completes the order as normal. KP sales tax is calculated at your correct rate -- 5% for RIMS-integrated restaurants.

2
Invoice Sent to RIMS Instantly

The invoice is transmitted to the KPRA RIMS system using your POS ID and key. Offline? The invoice queues locally and submits automatically when internet returns.

3
QR-Verified Receipt Printed

The receipt prints with a QR code customers can verify on the KPRA portal or the KPRA Tax App. Your monthly return data builds automatically for the 18th.

Features

Everything You Need for KPRA Compliance -- Built In

Real-Time RIMS Submission

Every invoice transmitted to KPRA the moment the sale completes, using the official RIMS API. No batching, no manual uploads.

5% Reduced Rate Support

RIMS-integrated restaurants charge 5% instead of 8%. The POS applies your correct rate on every bill and shows the saving.

QR-Verified Receipts

Receipts carry a KPRA verification QR code. Customers verify on kpra.gov.pk/verify or the KPRA Tax App.

Offline Queue with Auto-Sync

Load-shedding or internet outage? Invoices queue locally and submit to RIMS automatically on reconnect -- exactly as KPRA's integration guide expects.

Returns Ready by the 18th

KPRA monthly returns are due by the 18th of the following month. Your sales and tax summary is always ready -- no month-end scramble.

Full Restaurant Suite

Tables, kitchen display, waiter app, takeaway, delivery, recipes and inventory -- a complete restaurant system, not just a tax box.
