The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has officially issued the finalized income tax return forms for the tax year 2025, ending weeks of uncertainty for taxpayers.
Through SRO 1561(I)/2025 and SRO 1562(I)/2025, the Board has introduced simplified e-return forms for individuals, salaried employees, Associations of Persons (AOPs), companies, and business professionals. The move aims to make filing more straightforward and transparent for filers nationwide.
The finalized forms come 40 days after the FBR first published draft versions on July 7, 2025.
Controversy arose, however, when the IRIS portal was opened for return submissions shortly after the draft release, leaving many to wonder whether returns filed during this “draft phase” will remain valid or must be resubmitted under the new forms.

Why doesn’t FBR explain why taxation is now under fm minister instead of FBR ?.
There should be such a system of property. In which the inspector does not interfere. Inspectors eat up all the money. And the poor owners are left with nothing. Every year, survey inspectors keep blackmailing. Is there such a system all over the world. Under which system do the floppy states work?

Found informative.
FBR starts income tax returns from 1st July but actually issues final forms by mid of August or later. Why FBR delays this process at cost of taxpayers
Taxation is injustice — forced legal begging by the state. In Islam, the only obligatory levy is Zakat, which is worship, not taxation government should sustain itself by production, trade, agriculture, and natural resources — not by confiscating people’s earnings. Wealth belongs to the people; they are free to spend it on family, charity, and the needy ones as Allah commands.” however state is sole responsible to decorate the city and fulfill other requirements by standing up on its own feet
Income of person is also important for taxation. Public needs Roads, cleanliness, subsidised transport and other basic infrastructure etc
Wisdom is much grief he who increases knowledge increases sorrow
ProPakistani needs to refine its journalistic skills. One sentence on the last date for submission of Tax Returns could have been helpful. Journalists should not suppose that all readers already know the last date.
