Breaking: FBR to Extend 2026 Tax Return Deadline

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is set to announce another extension to the filing of income tax returns for the 2026 tax year, according to sources. This marks the second time this year that the deadline has been pushed back, following demands from various trade groups and tax bar associations. Taxpayers have encountered difficulties while submitting their returns, citing issues with the IRIS portal, including slow processing, technical glitches, and errors in the return forms.

The Pakistan Tax Bar Association (PTBA) had previously requested an extension until December 2 due to these persistent problems with the portal, faulty return forms, and issues with the minimum tax calculation formula. As of now, 6.9 million tax returns have been submitted.
