What Separates a Filed Return From a Safe One

A return that is submitted and a return that will hold up under scrutiny are not the same thing. Most of the corrective work we do involves returns that were filed on time and still created problems later.

The largest single cause is a wealth statement that does not reconcile. Income declared, assets acquired and expenses claimed have to tell one coherent story. A vehicle purchased or property registered during the year with no corresponding source in the return is exactly what an audit selection looks for.

The second is undeclared withholding. Tax already deducted on bank transactions, utility bills, vehicle registration and mobile usage is creditable against final liability — but only if it is claimed. Taxpayers routinely pay twice because deductions already made were never entered.

The third is treating the deadline as the whole obligation. A return filed late still leaves the taxpayer off the Active Taxpayer List for a period, and the higher withholding rates that follow usually cost more than the penalty itself.

The fourth is a return that does not match the taxpayer’s actual profile. A salaried person with rental income, a business share or foreign remittances is not filing a simple salary return, and using the wrong form creates a discrepancy that surfaces later.

We reconcile the wealth statement before filing, claim every deduction already made on your behalf, and file the form that matches your real position.

Frequently Asked Questions

For Tax Year 2026 (1 July 2025 – 30 June 2026): individuals, salaried persons, and AOPs must file by 30 September 2026. Companies must file by 31 December 2026 (companies with a special tax year may have a different date). We recommend filing early to avoid last-minute IRIS portal congestion and to secure your ATL status promptly.

Under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, a penalty of Rs. 40,000 or 0.1% of the tax payable per month applies, whichever is higher. You also lose your Active Taxpayer List (ATL) status, meaning higher withholding tax rates on banking, property, and vehicle transactions.

Yes. Resident Pakistanis (including overseas Pakistanis who qualify as resident under FBR rules) with foreign income or assets must file both a foreign income and assets statement and a local income tax return. Non-resident Pakistanis with Pakistan-source income (e.g., rental income or business income in Pakistan) are also required to file.

You’ll typically need: your CNIC copy, NTN (if already registered), salary certificate or business income details, bank account statements, details of any property, vehicles, or investments, and prior year’s tax return (if applicable). For a complete list, download our free Tax Year 2026 document checklist above.

Most straightforward individual and salaried tax returns are completed within 24-48 hours of receiving your complete documents. Business and company returns may take slightly longer depending on the complexity of accounts and reconciliations required.

The Active Taxpayer List (ATL) is FBR’s official list of taxpayers who filed their return on time. Being on the ATL means significantly lower withholding tax rates on banking transactions, property transfers, vehicle registration, and other transactions — while non-filers face substantially higher rates on the same transactions.

Our fees depend on the complexity of your return — salaried individuals, business owners, and companies each have different requirements. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote based on your specific situation.
