KTBA Urges FBR to Extend June Tax Deadline

KTBA Urges FBR to Extend June Tax Deadline

| 17-Jul-2025

Karachi, July 17, 2025, 08:56 PM PKT — The Karachi Tax Bar Association (KTBA) has issued a pressing demand, urging the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend the deadline for June sales tax returns due to chronic technical glitches plaguing the IRIS system, as outlined in a letter to the FBR chairman. The association flagged frequent downtimes and login failures, crippling taxpayers, consultants, and businesses amid filing pressures, while backing FBR’s security enhancements but challenging the QR code authentication tied to registered mobile numbers, which excludes overseas taxpayers unable to receive SMS from Pakistan.

KTBA also highlighted corporate struggles, where registered numbers of unavailable employees or directors disrupt filing, and authorized representatives—like e-intermediaries and accountants—face blockades despite legal authorization. Web context reveals system reliability debates, while posts found on X show frustration—some demand relief, others criticize FBR delays. Critically, the narrative of “system improvement” may mask operational failures—web data points to past outages, and X sentiment suggests distrust in FBR readiness, hinting at escalating discontent.
