The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Monday issued a statement on reports that its IRIS system is down in Pakistan.
In a statement, FBR said that reports suggesting that the IRIS system has slowed down are unfounded.
“FBR’s IRIS platform is fully operational, functioning smoothly, and taxpayers can easily file their returns using the new simplified income tax return form,” FBR said in a statement posted on X.
Taxpayers are also cautioned that failure to file returns by the due date will result in late-filer status and imposition of penalties under the law. FBR urges all eligible taxpayers to file their Income Tax Returns with accuracy and honesty before the deadline of Sep 30, 2025, it added.

In case of extreme hardship, the taxpayers can avail extension of return up to fifteen days with payment of due taxes by Sep 30, subject to approval by the relevant committee as per law, it added.
