The Federal Board of Revenue has warned taxpayers that it will block Mobile Phone SIMs, cut electricity and gas connections, and ban international travel for not filing income tax returns by the given deadline i.e. September 30, 2024.
The tax machinery has made news of this by sending emails to non-filers. Under Section 114(1)(b)(vii) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, individuals with taxable income are required to file their tax returns for the tax year 2024 by 30th September. Failure to do so may result in consequences as mentioned above.
FBR said it has complete financial transaction records and emphasized the correct submission of tax returns.
“If you do not submit your tax return for the year 2024, the FBR has the right to impose fines or take legal action. It said the regulator is also authorized to initiate further investigations into the financial activities of defaulters, which could result in a detailed audit and even heavy fines in some cases,” it said.
In light of the above, you are urged to file your national tax return for the year 2024 by 30th September, FBR added.

Something just FBR’s sweet wish, but undoable
Dog Chor Mulk khaa gaye ab public ki khaal utaar rahay hain apne shashko k liye…
Waiting for the day FBR bans use of public washrooms for non filers hahaha
Start by threatening your own 😆
Why would I pay for corruption?
It wont work.those with Political connections will be given clean chit and others will use different ways of bribe etc.
They need to cut their benefits as fbr is most corrupt department in Pakistan
FBR should stop Cash carried by Foreign Travellers And sale of Foreign currency to Non Travellers. control Boarders.. Sources of FUNDS. If FBR can do that… it goes when it’s said ” Baarrer Sahab Kaa Order Haay. Ganedoo. one Should think Country.
wow you are a genius lekin itney travelers pakistan nhi aate jitni badi imagination bna rkhi hei tumne
Chote log, choti soch, paida giri. Yeh hai haqiqat.
remove taxes for filers from electricity, water, internet, and gas bills. everyone will become a filer then. otherwise FBR bhonkti rahegi or koi kuch gharibo ka misal bana degi kabhi bhi apne najaiz baapo ko nahi pakregi jo kharbo ka tax chori karty hein
It just means that now FBR has the power to harass a lot more people and opened a new income stream for them through bribes. I have seen a lot of call center operators pay bhatta to FBR to stay in business. Same thing they want for everyone else.
What about people who are 76 and above who have all their lives saved and half goes to taxes
Does FBR belong to Pakistan or Farungee Raj?
FBR is a big black hole of corruption wastage pilgerage. Time to shut it down. A to Z
Pigs are eating our tax
Show the Nation where you are spending this Tax, it is not visible to anyone. Be respectful to the Nation, do not threaten the Nation, hold yourself accountable first that why in the first place you had to use this tone with the Nation.
The Nation itself is good, wants good, understands the good but you sir need to understand the Nation.
In the end the Nation wins.
Long live the Nation.
