  "account": "On November 1, 2026, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) removed individuals who missed filing their income tax returns or extension applications by the October 31 deadline from the Active Taxpayers List (ATL). The FBR had previously extended the Tax Year 2026 filing deadline twice, from September 30 to October 15 and then to October 31. The removal was effective after no further extensions were announced.\n\nLate extension requests, submitted under Sections 119(1) and 114, placed late filers on the inactive list. Their status now hinges on the Commissioner's approval of the request. Those missing from the updated ATL are now considered non-filers, subject to higher withholding tax rates by banks, property registrars, and vehicle registration authorities until they reappear on the list.\n\nLate filers can still file their returns through IRIS but with a late filing count. Under Section 182A, late filers must pay a surcharge to be reinstated on the ATL: Rs. 25,000 for individuals, Rs. 50,000 for associations of persons, and Rs. 100,000 for companies. Furthermore, late filers outside the ATL cannot receive tax refunds, lose the right to carry forward business losses for the year, and may face a late-filing penalty under Section 182.",
