Pakistan revenue watchdog says no extension in Sept. 30 deadline to file income tax returns
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Monday rejected reports of an extension in deadline to file income tax returns for fiscal year 2024-25, saying Sept. 30 is final date for all Pakistanis to submit their wealth statements.
The statement came after some reports suggested the revenue watchdog had extended the deadline in view of the recent floods that killed more than 1,000 Pakistanis, uprooted nearly 3 million people and submerged standing crops on vast tracts of lands.
In a statement issued on Monday, the FBR said that all these reports were false, baseless and misleading and the deadline for filing income tax returns for Tax Year 2025 will not be extended.
“It is pointed out that a vast majority of taxpayers reside in areas unaffected by floods and have had ample time to discharge their national obligation of filing returns,” it said.
