PKR 3,500

Who Needs to File?

Every person who earns more than PKR 600,000 annually needs to file — including salaried employees, landlords, freelancers, and business owners.

According to Section 149, the new salary tax slabs for 2025–26 include a 0% tax rate for annual income up to PKR 600,000 and a reduced 1% rate for income between PKR 600,001 and PKR 1,200,000 — a relief for low and middle-income earners. FilerPK identifies which deductions and credits apply to your specific case so you never pay more than required.

Tax Year 2025–26

Return Categories

Types of ITR in Pakistan

Whether you are a salaried person, freelancer, business owner, or service provider, the FBR IRIS system provides specific return forms for each taxpayer category.

Most Common

01

Form 114(I)

Salaried Individuals

If more than 50% of your income comes from salary — with minor income from bank profit, dividends, or rental income — you file using Form 114(I) through the FBR IRIS portal. The most common form for employees in the private and public sectors.

02

Form 114(II)

Business & Self-Employed

Business owners, sole traders, consultants, doctors, lawyers, engineers, and other self-employed professionals use Form 114(II). Requires detailed reporting including business receipts, deductible expenses, advance tax payments, and asset details.

03

Nil Return

Nil & Zero Income Return

Even if you earned nothing taxable during the year, you may still be required to file a nil return to maintain your ATL status and avoid penalties. Filing a nil income return is straightforward and takes only a few minutes on the IRIS portal.

04

Section 116

Wealth Statement Reconciliation

Successful filing is confirmed only when both the return and wealth statement move from Draft to Completed Task. The wealth statement will only submit successfully once the current year's wealth change matches the difference between income and expenses.

An unreconciled wealth statement blocks your submission entirely and triggers audit selection. FilerPK resolves the reconciliation before filing, not after FBR flags it.

05

AOP & Corporate

AOP Tax Return Pakistan

Every registered company — whether a private limited company, a public company, or an Association of Persons (AOP) — must file a corporate tax return regardless of profit or loss. The deadline for corporate returns is typically December of the same fiscal year.

Filing under the wrong category changes both the applicable tax rate and the deductions available to you. Consult a registered tax consultant when in doubt.

01

Send Your Documents

WhatsApp your CNIC and income documents. An office visit isn't required for online clients. In-person appointments are available at all five offices in Lahore, Karachi, Multan, Faisalabad, and Bahawalpur.

02

FilerPK Prepares Your Return

Your consultant maps income across all applicable heads, reconciles withholding tax credits against your MIS ledger, calculates final liability under the correct slab, and prepares the complete IRIS submission package.

03

You Approve, We File

The full return summary is shared with you before submission. You confirm every figure. FilerPK files on IRIS 2.0, captures the acknowledgment receipt, and sends you a copy immediately.

04

ATL Status Confirmed

FilerPK verifies your Active Taxpayer List status on the following Sunday FBR update and sends you a screenshot confirmation. Your return is complete — nothing left outstanding.

How Different Taxpayers Handle ITR

Real filing scenarios handled by FilerPK consultants.

Case Study — Freelancer · Lahore

Freelancer Tax Advisory Service in Lahore

A freelance web developer earning through Upwork had not filed for three years, assuming foreign income was not taxable. After his ATL status lapsed, he faced higher withholding tax on every bank withdrawal above certain limits. After engaging a tax consultant, he filed three years of returns, declared his foreign remittances correctly, and qualified for IT export income tax credits — reducing his effective tax rate significantly while also restoring his filer status.

Case Study — Business Owner · Islamabad

Small Business Owner in Islamabad

A small retail business owner received an audit notice from FBR after two years of not filing return taxes. With the help of a tax professional, he reconstructed his business accounts, filed all outstanding returns, and submitted a reconciled wealth statement. The audit was closed without penalty.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the last date to file an income tax return in Pakistan?

The deadline for Tax Year 2025–26 is 30th September 2026 for individuals and AOPs, and 31st December 2026 for companies.

My employer already deducts tax from my salary. Do I still need to file?

Yes. Employer withholding settles your advance tax obligation monthly. It does not replace the annual return. Filing is still mandatory to maintain your ATL status and filer benefits.

What happens if I miss the filing deadline?

Missing the deadline leads to heavy fines and penalties, and loss of filer benefits. FilerPK handles late returns for any prior tax year, calculates the applicable penalty, and processes the ATL surcharge payment so your status is restored on the next FBR update.

How do I check if I am on the FBR Active Taxpayers List?

Send 'ATL (space) your CNIC number' via SMS to 9966. You can also check your status by logging into the IRIS portal or visiting the FBR TaxRay section on the FBR website.

What is an ATL surcharge, and when does it apply?

If you file after the 30 September deadline, you pay an ATL surcharge for inclusion on the Active Taxpayer List — PKR 1,000 for individual filers, PKR 10,000 for AOPs, and PKR 20,000 for companies. This is separate from any Section 182 late filing penalty.

Can I get FBR notice response consultancy from FilerPK?

Yes. Notice handling is available for returns filed with FilerPK and as a standalone service for returns filed elsewhere. FilerPK drafts responses under Section 176 information requests, Section 122 amendment notices, and Section 121 best-judgment assessments.

File Your Return Before the Deadline

Starting from PKR 3,500. In person and online. Same-day filing available for urgent cases.
