What is FBR tax filing in Pakistan?+
FBR tax filing is submitting your annual income tax return through the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) IRIS portal. Salaried individuals, business owners, and freelancers must declare income, claim deductions, and pay any balance due to stay compliant and maintain active filer (ATL) status.
How is Aasaan Tax different from other online filers?+
We offer guided online tax filing with every return reviewed by qualified chartered accountants (FCAs) before submission to FBR. You get portal convenience with professional oversight, NTN registration, audit support, and business tax services in one place.
Who must file an income tax return in Pakistan?+
Generally, salaried employees above the taxable threshold, business owners, companies, AOPs, landlords, and freelancers with taxable income must file. Filing on time helps you appear on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL), reducing withholding tax on banking transactions and property transfers.
What is active filer (ATL) status and why does it matter?+
An active filer is a taxpayer whose name appears on FBR's Active Taxpayers List after filing a return. ATL filers pay lower withholding tax on bank transactions, dividends, and property sales compared to non-filers — a major reason salaried professionals file every year.
How much does salaried tax return filing cost?+
Our flat fee for assisted salaried tax filing starts at Rs. 3,500 with no hidden charges. NTN registration, business returns, sales tax registration, and audit representation are quoted separately. Call or WhatsApp us at +92 321 2040253 for a quick quote.
Do you help with NTN registration and FBR profile setup?+
Yes. We register individual and business NTNs with FBR, verify CNIC and business documents, and prepare your IRIS profile so you can file returns and track refunds without visiting a tax office.
What documents do I need for a salaried tax return?+
Typically your CNIC, salary certificates or payslips, bank statements, investment proofs, rent receipts if applicable, and prior-year return if you filed before. Our guided interview walks you through each requirement step by step.
Can you help with FBR audit, notices, or tax disputes?+
Yes. Aasaan Tax provides external and internal audit, FBR notice response, and representation during tax audits — drawing on decades of Big 4 and industry experience from our FCA partners.
How long does online tax filing take?+
Most salaried clients complete the interview and document upload in under 30 minutes. After consultant review, we submit to FBR IRIS — usually within one to two business days once documents are complete.
Is it safe to file my tax return online through your portal?+
Yes. Your data is transmitted over encrypted connections and handled only by authorized tax consultants. We never share CNIC, salary, or financial details with third parties except as required for lawful FBR submission.

What is a wealth statement for FBR in Pakistan?+
A wealth statement declares your assets and liabilities at year-end for FBR — property, vehicles, bank balances, investments, and loans. Many filers must attach or reconcile wealth with their income tax return. Incomplete wealth statements are a common reason for FBR notices.
How do I file an income tax return on FBR IRIS?+
Log into iris.fbr.gov.pk with your NTN credentials, open the income tax return for the tax year, enter income and deductions, attach required statements, and submit. Aasaan Tax can complete the guided interview and submit to IRIS after FCA review if you prefer not to file yourself.
When is the income tax return deadline for tax year 2025–2026?+
FBR announces due dates each year for individuals and companies. Salaried individuals typically face a September deadline (confirm the current circular). Late filing can attract penalties and delay Active Taxpayers List (ATL) benefits. File early once salary certificates are ready.
How does the salary tax calculator work?+
Our free salary tax calculator on the Aasaan Tax home page estimates annual income tax and monthly withholding under current Pakistan salary slabs. It is an estimate only — your final FBR return may differ after deductions, other income, and wealth reconciliation.
