Whether you are a salaried individual, business owner, freelancer, sole proprietor, Association of Persons (AOP), private limited company or sales tax registered taxpayer, it is important to understand which tax deadlines apply to you.

This FBR Tax Deadlines Calendar covers November 2026 to December 2027, including:

• Annual income tax return filing.

• Monthly federal sales tax filing.

The calendar is based on the statutory schedules currently available under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, Sales Tax Act, 1990 and relevant FBR guidance.

FBR Tax Deadlines Calendar 2026–27 – Important Dates at a Glance

The following table summarizes major tax obligations within the requested period.

This overview does not replace the detailed monthly obligations below.

For quarterly advance income tax, the date differs between individuals and companies/AOPs.

For ordinary monthly federal sales tax, the commonly published dates are the 10th for Annexure C, 15th for payment and 18th for the electronic return in the following month.

November 2026 – FBR Tax Deadlines

November 2026 includes compliance relating primarily to October 2026 sales tax transactions.

Income Tax Return Follow-Up

Individuals and AOPs who did not file Tax Year 2026 returns by their applicable deadline should review their late-filing obligations immediately.

Check the current FBR extension or notice applicable to your case.

Late returns may still be filed under the applicable law, but filing after the due date can have legal consequences.

Do not assume that the expiry of a deadline makes return filing permanently impossible.

December 2026 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Important December Holiday Consideration

December 25 is a public holiday in Pakistan.

Companies and AOPs with an applicable December quarter advance-tax liability should verify the legal treatment of the holiday and the payment system's availability.

For practical planning, arrange payment before the holiday rather than relying on a last-minute transaction.

Company Return Deadline

For a company with an ordinary tax year ending June 30, 2026, the usual Section 118 return filing date is December 31, 2026.

A company with a special tax year may have a different deadline.

January 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

The quarterly withholding statement applies to persons required to furnish statements under the applicable withholding provisions.

Not every individual taxpayer is a withholding agent.

February 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

February Compliance Review

This is a useful time to check:

• Pending income tax notices.
• Withholding tax deposits.
• Earlier sales tax returns.
• ATL status.
• Unpaid tax liabilities.
• Missing documents for the upcoming tax year closing.

These are recommended administrative checks, not separate universal statutory deadlines.

March 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Advance Income Tax

Section 147 establishes advance income tax requirements for qualifying taxpayers.

The obligation and calculation depend on the taxpayer category, assessed income, turnover, applicable exemptions and relevant statutory provisions.

A salaried employee should not assume that every individual must separately deposit quarterly advance income tax.

April 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Withholding Reconciliation

Withholding agents should compare the tax deducted or collected with the electronic statements and payment records.

Where applicable, reconcile:

• Supplier payments.
• Contract payments.
• Services.
• Rent.
• Salary withholding.
• Other prescribed withholding transactions.

Different sections and taxpayer types may have special reporting rules.

May 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Prepare for Tax Year Closing

Business owners should begin reviewing their:

• Bank reconciliations.
• Business accounts.
• Fixed asset records.
• Loan balances.
• Withholding certificates.
• Inventory records.
• Business expenses.

These steps help prepare for the June 30 tax-year closing.

June 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

What Happens on June 30, 2027?

For taxpayers using the ordinary June 30 year-end, Tax Year 2027 closes on June 30, 2027.

This is the relevant financial reporting cut-off for determining:

• Annual income.
• Closing bank balances.
• Assets and liabilities.
• Business profit.
• Investment positions.
• Relevant tax payments.
• Wealth statement information.

June 30 is not the ordinary annual return submission deadline for individuals.

The return is normally submitted after the tax year has ended.

July 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Start Preparing Tax Year 2027 Returns

The ordinary Tax Year 2027 has now ended.

Individuals and businesses can prepare their annual returns after the necessary FBR forms and systems are available.

Collect your salary certificates, bank statements, business records, tax payments and wealth statement information.

August 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Recommended Income Tax Filing Preparation

Before the September annual return deadline, check that:

• Income details are complete.
• Tax deductions are supported.
• Bank balances are accurate.
• Assets and liabilities reconcile.
• Relevant exempt or final-tax income is correctly classified.
• Withholding tax records are consistent.

Submit only accurate returns through the official FBR system.

September 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

September is one of the most important months in Pakistan's annual tax calendar.

Tax Year 2027 Income Tax Return Deadline

The ordinary statutory due date for individuals and AOPs is September 30, 2027.

However, this date can be changed by a legally valid FBR extension.

Do not assume that FBR will extend the date simply because an extension was granted in a previous year.

Wealth Statement Requirement

A resident individual filing an income tax return generally needs to meet the applicable Section 116 wealth statement requirements.

The wealth statement and reconciliation should be completed as part of the required return filing process.

October 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

What If You Missed the September Income Tax Deadline?

If the ordinary or legally extended due date has passed:

1. Check whether another valid extension applies.
2. Complete the required return accurately.
3. Review any applicable late-filing penalty.
4. Check whether ATL surcharge conditions apply.
5. Submit the return and required wealth statement.
6. Verify your ATL status through FBR.

An ATL surcharge and a late-filing penalty are different legal matters.

November 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Company Year-End Return Preparation

This may involve:

• Financial statements.
• Tax depreciation.
• Withholding reconciliation.
• Corporate tax calculations.
• Related-party transactions.
• Business expenses.
• Applicable tax credits.
• Other required schedules.

December 2027 – FBR Tax Deadlines

Final Company Filing Deadline

The usual return due date for a company with a tax year ending June 30, 2027 is December 31, 2027.

A company with a special tax year may follow a different statutory deadline.

Any future FBR extension or legislative change must be checked before relying on this date.

FBR Monthly Sales Tax Calendar – Complete Schedule

The FBR's published standard monthly federal sales tax procedure generally provides:

• 10th: Annexure C submission.
• 15th: Tax payment.
• 18th: Electronic return submission.

All dates relate to the month following the relevant sales tax period.

The December 2027 sales tax period will ordinarily fall due in January 2028.

These are standard statutory dates. Certain categories, sectors and special rules have different filing frequencies and obligations.

Quarterly Withholding Tax Statements – Section 165

Section 165 requires prescribed withholding agents to furnish statements containing details of tax deducted or collected.

The general quarterly schedule is:

Sections 165 and 165C, and the relevant rules, may include different or additional reporting obligations for certain transactions and payment intermediaries.

A withholding agent should check which return and reporting procedure applies.

Quarterly Advance Income Tax – Section 147

Advance income tax is generally paid during the tax year by qualifying taxpayers under Section 147.

Applicable Individuals

Applicable AOPs and Companies

The actual liability depends on Section 147, including the taxpayer's category, assessment history and other applicable conditions.

These installments are not automatically due from every salaried person.

Income Tax Return Deadlines – Individuals, AOPs and Companies

Under the ordinary Section 118 filing schedule:

Tax Year 2026

Period: July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026.

Individuals and AOPs should verify the actual applicable deadline and any extension granted during the 2026 filing season.

Companies with a normal June 30 year-end ordinarily file by December 31, 2026.

Tax Year 2027

Period: July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027.

Ordinary deadline for individuals and AOPs: September 30, 2027.

Ordinary deadline for normal-year companies: December 31, 2027.

These future due dates remain subject to applicable legal amendments or extensions.

Does FBR Extend Tax Return Deadlines Every Year?

No.

FBR can issue valid extensions under the law, but taxpayers should not treat a future extension as guaranteed.

A past deadline extension does not automatically apply to another tax year.

Before relying on an extension, confirm:

• The official circular or notification.
• The tax year.
• The taxpayer category.
• The exact extended deadline.
• Any conditions attached to the extension.

Avoid relying on unverified social media posts.

How to Check FBR Tax Deadlines Online

For official verification:

1. Visit https://www.fbr.gov.pk/.
2. Open the relevant Income Tax or Sales Tax information section.
3. Check announcements and circulars.
4. Review the applicable current law.
5. Open https://iris.fbr.gov.pk/ for filing and payment information.
6. Confirm any notification changing the statutory deadline.

When a date falls on a public holiday, verify the applicable holiday rules and FBR instructions.

What Happens If You Miss an FBR Deadline?

The consequences depend on the particular obligation.

Potential issues include:

• Late-filing penalties under Section 182.
• Default surcharge under applicable provisions.
• Complications with ATL status.
• Additional notices or inquiries.
• Sales tax compliance penalties.
• Unpaid tax liabilities.
• Other enforcement procedures authorized by law.

The penalty for a late annual income tax return is not necessarily identical to the penalty for a missing withholding statement or late sales tax return.

Each obligation must be evaluated separately.

How to Avoid Missing Tax Deadlines

Taxpayers should maintain a simple compliance system.

Recommended steps include:

• Record all applicable deadlines.
• Identify whether your business is registered for income tax, sales tax or both.
• Maintain monthly financial records.
• Reconcile tax payments before the deadline.
• Prepare quarterly withholding information in advance.
• Verify the correct tax year in IRIS.
• Preserve payment receipts and acknowledgments.
• Monitor official FBR announcements.
• Update your calendar when a valid extension is issued.

A general tax calendar is useful, but the obligations of an individual salaried taxpayer and a registered company can be very different.
