As the last date for submitting income tax returns for Tax Year 2026 approaches tomorrow, citizens are wondering that whether the date would be extended or not.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced that the deadline for submitting income tax returns for Tax Year 2026 is September 30.
According to FBR sources, the “late filer” category will be removed from October 1, and those who fail to submit their tax returns by the deadline may be treated as non-filers and face related restrictions.
FBR has advised citizens, businesses, and companies to file their returns before the deadline to avoid penalties and non-filer restrictions.
Meanwhile, taxpayers have raised concerns over technical issues and slow performance of the IRIS portal as the deadline approaches.
Many taxpayers say they are facing difficulties in submitting their returns due to system delays and increased traffic on the portal.
Taxpayers have requested FBR to extend the deadline, saying delays in releasing the updated return form and technical problems have reduced the time available for filing.
The business community has also called for an extension, arguing that more time would help taxpayers complete their returns and avoid becoming non-filers.
