Islamabad, Aug 1, 2025: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has successfully met its tax collection target of Rs. 748 billion for July 2025, kicking off the fiscal year 2025–26 with a strong performance. This significant achievement signals growing momentum in Pakistan’s revenue system and reflects the success of recent fiscal strategies.
The government had unveiled over Rs. 400 billion worth of new tax measures in the FY2025–26 federal budget to strengthen fiscal stability and widen the tax net. These measures are now paying off, with July’s results indicating effective policy execution and strong compliance enforcement.
The annual tax collection goal for FY2025–26 is an ambitious Rs. 14.131 trillion. According to FBR officials, this early success is the result of a multi-pronged approach that includes advanced digital monitoring systems, improved enforcement mechanisms, and proactive taxpayer engagement. The board is also expanding its tax base by targeting previously untaxed segments and minimizing revenue leakages through tighter audits and real-time tracking tools.
