Problem in filing income tax returns
Gadinsider has mentioned some potential challenges Pakistani taxpayers face while filing income tax returns on the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) portal:
- Taxpayers in Pakistan face technical errors on the IRIS portal, including slow performance, server down, login issues, and frequent timeouts.
- The IRIS portal displays incorrect data, resulting in discrepancies in the tax amount, requiring taxpayers to manually input their information.
- Saved drafts on the portal disappear, leading to lost work and wasted time.
To address the challenges faced by taxpayers, the FBR has introduced a specific helpline to provide assistance with filing income tax returns 2025.
Taxpayers in Pakistan can easily reach out to the helpline for support with different problems, technical issues, filing errors and general inquiries.
