Islamabad, July 13, 2025: A Withholding Tax Certificate in Pakistan is an official record confirming the tax deducted at source—on salaries, contracts, or services. Issued under Section 164 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, it helps taxpayers file annual returns and claim tax credits through the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
As per FBR guidelines, every withholding agent—like employers or banks—must issue this certificate to individuals from whom income tax is deducted. It serves as verified proof of deposited tax and is mandatory when submitting your income tax return to avoid discrepancies or penalties.
