ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has said that its IT system is functioning smoothly and no date will further be extended.
The FBR in a tweet message said advised all taxpayers both old and new taxpayers to avail the 15-day extension and must file the annual return.
It is pertinent to mention here that the FBR extended the date for filing annual return for tax year 2021 from September 30, 2021 to October 15, 2021.
The FBR issued Circular No. 08 of 2021 to extend the last date for further 15 days. Prior to this the FBR repeatedly advised the taxpayers to file their annual returns and no date would be extended.
The FBR in its circular for date extension admitted serious technical issues in the IT system, which caused date extension.
However, with the instant message the FBR made it clear that date would not be extended beyond October 15, 2021 as all the IT system errors have been fixed.
