Income tax return filing in Pakistan

Filing an accurate annual income tax return keeps you compliant with FBR and is generally required to be included on the Active Taxpayers List. We prepare and file returns for individuals and businesses through FBR’s IRIS system.

What is included

Income tax returns are filed online on FBR’s IRIS portal under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. For individuals, the return is normally accompanied by a wealth statement listing assets and liabilities. We gather your income and tax-deduction details, prepare the return, review it with you and file it once you confirm.

Filing deadlines are set by law and FBR sometimes announces extensions. Ask us for the current position for your tax year.

Who typically needs this

  • Salaried individuals, including those whose employer deducts tax
  • Freelancers, consultants and other self-employed professionals
  • Sole proprietors, partnership firms (AOPs) and companies
  • Individuals with rental, investment or other income
  • Anyone wanting to appear on the Active Taxpayers List

Documents and information usually required

  • IRIS login (or we first complete NTN registration)
  • Salary certificate or income records for the tax year
  • Withholding tax deduction certificates or evidence (for example, from bank, utility, vehicle and mobile payments)
  • Bank statements for the tax year
  • Details of assets and liabilities for the wealth statement (property, vehicles, investments, loans)
  • For businesses: financial statements or books of account

The exact list depends on your circumstances. We confirm it on WhatsApp before any submission.

How the process works

  1. Share your details

    Tell us your income sources on WhatsApp and we send a checklist tailored to you.

  2. Preparation

    We prepare the return and, for individuals, the wealth statement, reconciling tax already deducted.

  3. Your review

    We walk you through the figures before filing so you understand what is being submitted.

  4. Filing and acknowledgement

    The return is filed on IRIS and you receive the acknowledgement for your records.

Important considerations

  • Your wealth statement should reconcile year-on-year with your declared income and expenditure.
  • Late filing can lead to penalties and affect your active taxpayer status.
  • Keep supporting records; FBR may ask for evidence after filing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to file if my employer already deducts tax?

Tax deduction by an employer does not by itself mean a return has been filed. Many salaried individuals file to remain on the Active Taxpayers List. Tell us your situation and we will explain whether filing applies to you.

What is a wealth statement?

A statement of an individual’s assets and liabilities at the end of the tax year, filed alongside the return. Read our guide on documents for your tax return.

Can a return be revised?

The Income Tax Ordinance allows revision of a return in certain circumstances. We can review whether this applies to you.
