Pakistan extends 2026 income-tax return deadline to October 31

In one minute

The Federal Board of Revenue has given taxpayers another 15 days to file returns for tax year 2026.

Key takeaways

The Federal Board of Revenue has given taxpayers another 15 days to file returns for tax year 2026.

What happened

The Federal Board of Revenue extended the filing deadline for tax year 2026 from 15 October to 31 October, according to state news agency APP and the FBR's published notice. The extension changes the filing date; it does not, by itself, change who must file or the tax owed.

Why it matters

The decision gives filers more time to complete returns and reduces the immediate deadline pressure on the online filing system.

What to watch

Taxpayers should check the current FBR notice and their own filing obligations; any further extension would require a new announcement.
