On Wednesday, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) announced the extension of the income tax return filing deadline for the tax year 2026. The original deadline of September 30 has been pushed back to October 15, providing taxpayers an additional two weeks to submit their returns. This extension was granted in response to requests from trade bodies and tax bar associations.

Atif Ikram Sheikh, President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI), had previously urged the government and the FBR to extend the deadline by one month to October 31, 2026, to ease the burden on businesses and individuals.
