ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) announced an extension of deadline for submitting Income Tax returns to October 31.

This decision is in response to requests from trade organisations and tax bar associations and considers bank holidays. Extension of the submission deadline is made under Section 214A of Income Tax Ordinance 2001, allowing taxpayers additional time to file their returns. This extension aims to facilitate taxpayers and ensure compliance with tax regulations amidst various operational challenges. Previously, FBR had extended the deadline for filing Income Tax returns for fiscal year 2024 from September 30 to October 14, following requests from various trade associations and tax bar associations.
