The Pakistan Tax Bar Association (PTBA) on Wednesday requested the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for an extension in the deadline for filing tax returns to October 30.
PTBA President Anwar Kashif Mumtaz urged that the FBR “should extend the deadline for submitting returns.”
Mumtaz said that the aim is to increase the tax net, giving time for the notices sent on assets and expenses to be effective.
Earlier on September 30, the FBR announced a 15-day extension — date set to October 15 — for filing income tax returns, providing taxpayers with additional time to comply.
The PTBA expects the finance minister to grant extension to ease the burden on taxpayers and help them avoid legal or financial penalties.
