FBR Makes Important Announcement About Income Tax Filing Deadline

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has said that there would be no extension in the last date for filing income tax returns beyond September 30, 2023.

In this connection, the FBR issued instructions to the field formations here on Thursday.

In a post on X, FBR said, “Since the last date of filing of Returns is not being extended, FBR directs all Inland Revenue Commissioners to facilitate taxpayers in filing Returns and granting an extension on a case by case basis.”

Meanwhile, the FBR has also directed all Large Taxpayers Offices (LTOs), Medium Taxpayers Offices (MTOs), and Regional Tax Offices (RTOs) to remain open and observe extended working hours till 08:00 pm on Saturday (September 30) to facilitate the taxpayers in payment of duties and taxes.

According to sources, 1.7 million people filed tax returns so far and on Wednesday around 0.1 million people filed their tax returns. The finance ministry has given clear instructions that the deadline would not be extended.


  • Good decision for Not extending the date.
    Everybody should respect the Government announcement.

  • About Date extension will be definitely announced around 7pm on 30 September ’23, for meeting their target.

  • Fbr is a house of fools, as they cannot think about nothing but minting money from the tax payers. It is their knowledge that people of the country are suffering from conjunctivitis ( eye inflammation) disease and are unable to do the necessary about filing their returns.

  • Due to current situation of iris portal & new interface 2.o is launching it should be extended up to 31/10/23, otherwise various tax payers is left.

  • Once a great leader said about Pakistan
    “Beggar can’t be choosers “
    so the beggar government is like a greedy dog they will extend it and try to get last cent from poor Pakistanis

  • Whether the date is extended or not, it is immaterial for me. I paid the tax online & have filed my return. There was no problem of any type with Iris-2.0.

  • They never given such clear instructions regarding extension or non extension of deadline.

  • ویلتھ اسٹیٹمنٹس اور دیگر کئی مسائل کیوجہ سے بہت سے لوگ بروقت ریٹرن فائل نہیں کر سکے، ہمارے یہاں لوگ خود یہ کام نہیں کر سکتے ، پروفیشنل کے محتاج ہوتے ہیں ، لہذا ایف بی آر کو اپنے فیصلے پر نظر ثانی کرنی چاہیے اور کم از کم پندرہ دن تک کی ڈیٹ اکسٹینڈ کرنی چاہیے

  • As always after several lies and false claims of chanting no extension, fbr finally extended the date and raised question on their own credibility.
