Don't Miss the Deadline
Missing the deadline doesn't just cost you the late fee. You're removed from the Active Taxpayer List until you file + pay the surcharge — meaning every property, vehicle, and banking transaction during that gap is taxed at non-filer rates. On a single property purchase, the loss can run into millions of rupees.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
For individuals and AOPs, 30 September 2026 for tax year 2026. Companies have until 31 December 2026. FBR occasionally extends the deadline through circulars — but never rely on that. File on time to keep your ATL status uninterrupted.
Yes, absolutely. Your employer withholds tax, but that doesn't make you a filer. Only an annual return submitted through FBR IRIS puts you on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL). Without filing, you pay non-filer rates on every banking, property, and vehicle transaction outside your salary — costing you significantly more than the filing fee.
Technically you may be exempt from tax, but you should still file a nil return if you own property, a vehicle, or hold an NTN. It costs nothing, takes minutes, and keeps you on the ATL — protecting you from higher withholding taxes on every transaction throughout the year.
Yes. IUR Consultants regularly files for overseas Pakistanis in UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, USA, Canada, Australia — entirely via WhatsApp. You don't need to visit Pakistan. Foreign income is declared, remittances are documented, and the return is filed online.
Fees vary by complexity. Simple salaried returns are very affordable. Business and AOP returns with full bookkeeping and wealth statements cost more due to the work involved. Overseas Pakistani returns and freelancer returns with foreign remittances sit in the middle. We provide a flat written quote within 2 hours of receiving your details on WhatsApp.
Yes. You can file a late return + pay the ATL surcharge to be reinstated on the Active Taxpayer List. Penalty is Rs. 1,000 per day with a Rs. 10,000 minimum, but the cost of remaining a non-filer is usually much higher than the penalty. Send us a WhatsApp message — we'll calculate exactly what you owe and file fast.
Yes — mandatory for every resident filer. It's a summary of all your assets (property, vehicles, bank balances, investments, gold, cash) and liabilities as of 30 June, plus a reconciliation against your declared income and expenses. Missing the wealth statement triggers a separate penalty and risks a Section 111 notice for unexplained wealth.
Salaried returns with one income source can technically be filed by yourself. But the moment you have property, multiple bank accounts, freelance income, investments, or business income, the wealth reconciliation, tax credits, and IRIS portal navigation become complex. A small mistake can trigger an audit notice or cost you a refund you didn't realize you were entitled to. The cost of a good tax consultant is almost always less than what they save you.
