Overview

  • In a Sept. 29 press release, the Federal Board of Revenue said the filing date for Tax Year 2025 will not move beyond Sept. 30.
  • The authority warned that missing the cutoff will trigger late-filer status and penalties under the law.
  • FBR said its IRIS e-filing platform and the new simplified return form are fully operational, rejecting reports of slowdowns.
  • Business groups including the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry urged an extension to Oct. 31, citing flood disruptions, heavy portal load, and login or error messages.
  • FBR dismissed linking a blanket extension to floods and kept a strict posture as IMF review talks spotlight revenue shortfalls, with officials reporting roughly Rs60 billion in flood-related tax losses and signaling tougher compliance drives.
