FBR Tax Return Deadline Oct 14, 2024
FBR spokesperson, Bakhtiar Muhammad, said the last date for filing income tax returns is October 14 (today) and there would not be a further extension.
The offices and field formations of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) will remain functional till midnight tonight.
The FBR announced that 36,60,000 taxpayers filed their tax returns until September 30, 2024.
Earlier, the FBR extended the deadline for filing income tax returns for the fiscal year 2024, following requests from various trade associations and tax bar associations.
The FBR spokesperson further clarified that the extension given on September 30 was only because the FBR’s IT System got overloaded and since that has been fixed now, no more extension will be allowed beyond October 14, 2024.
