The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) released a definitive statement on October 14, 2024, regarding the deadline for tax return filings, confirming that no further extensions would be provided. The original deadline had already been extended once, allowing taxpayers more time to comply with filing requirements. However, amidst widespread speculation, the FBR reiterated that October 14 was the final cut-off.
The extension came after technical issues were reported on the FBR’s online portal, prompting many to request more time for submission. While the FBR urged taxpayers to meet the new deadline, it assured that technical support and customer service would remain available to assist those facing issues with filing.
This strict stance is part of the government’s broader efforts to improve tax compliance in Pakistan, where a large portion of the population still remains outside the tax net. The FBR’s efforts to expand its reach and improve the efficiency of its systems have been central to recent reforms
