  "account": "The Karachi Tax Bar Association (KTBA) has requested the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend the income tax return filing deadline. This request was made during a meeting between a KTBA delegation and FBR Chairman Rashid Mahmood Langrial, along with senior officials, on September 9. The KTBA argued that the FBR's goal of obtaining comprehensive information through return declarations has increased the time needed to prepare accurate returns. They emphasized the importance of facilitating taxpayers while also addressing technical issues with the IRIS portal. As of the meeting, 2.2 million income tax returns had been filed, compared to 1.724 million during the same period last year. The FBR and KTBA agreed to continue coordination to ensure the smooth operation of the IRIS portal and resolve technical issues affecting taxpayers. They also discussed the timely issuance of valid refunds for tax collected under Section 7E of the Income Tax Ordinance, with a mechanism being developed to prioritize genuine refund claims. Other topics covered included digital integration, electronic invoicing, faceless audits, AI-based assessments, and the Small Shopkeeper Scheme.",
