Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Wednesday announced an extension in the deadline for filing income tax returns, moving it from October 15 to October 31, 2025.
According to an official notification, the decision was made in response to numerous requests from trade bodies and tax bar associations across the country. The extension has been granted under Section 214A of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
“The Federal Board of Revenue is pleased to communicate that the date of filing of Income Tax Return for Tax Year 2025, for the persons who were required to file their returns by September 30, 2025, and was extended up to October 15, 2025, is further extended to October 31, 2025,” the notification read.
This marks the second time the FBR has extended the deadline for Tax Year 2025, despite earlier statements that no further extensions would be granted. The move suggests the tax authority yielded to pressure from various quarters after consistent appeals for additional time.
The original deadline for filing returns was September 30, which was first extended to October 15 and has now been pushed to the end of the month, providing taxpayers with two more weeks to submit their returns.
