Overview

• The tax authority said reports of an extension for Tax Year 2025 are false and the filing cutoff remains September 30.
• It rejected claims of flood-related relief, noting most taxpayers reside outside affected areas and had ample time to file.
• FBR stated the IRIS e‑filing platform is fully operational and supports a new simplified return form.
• The agency warned that missing the due date will result in late‑filer status and penalties under the law.
• A maximum 15‑day extension applies only for extreme hardship with taxes paid by September 30 and prior approval from the relevant committee.
