Share:Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin on Thursday announced an extension in the deadline for filing income tax returns for the tax year 2021 until October 15. The development came after the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) delegation met with Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin here in Islamabad and requested to extend the tax returns filing deadline. After listening to KCCI reservations, the finance minister extended the deadline for the next 15 days. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) today confirmed it will not extend the deadline to file a tax return after September 30 midnight. People willing to file the tax returns are facing problems as the FBR’s portal has crashed on the last day set by the country’s supreme tax collection body to file returns.
