    FBR notifies circular to allow third extension in date of return filing

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Wednesday issued a circular to notify the third extension in date for return filing tax year 2022.

    The FBR issued Circular No. 18 of 2022 to further extend the date for filing annual return for tax year 2022 up to December 15, 2022 from November 30, 2022.

    Further extension in date for filing tax returns has been granted in view of requests received from various trade bodies and tax bar associations.

    The last date for filing income tax return was September 30, 2022 for all taxpayers except companies, which are required to file their returns up to December 31, 2022.

    However, previously through Circular No. 16 of 2022 and Circular No. 17 of 2022, the FBR granted date extension twice due to current flood situation in the country and request from various trade bodies and tax bar associations.

    According to leading tax practitioners although the FBR had extended the date for return filing and resolved many issues pertaining to the return filing yet the taxpayers are facing problems related to calculation of deemed income under Section 7E of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

    A day earlier, the Karachi Tax Bar Association (KTBA) demanded an extension to file annual return and statement of income for tax year 2022.

    The tax bar in a letter sent to the chairman of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on November 29, 2022 informed that neither taxpayers nor the consultants would able to complete return filing task by November 30, 2022.

    KTBA President Syed Rehan Hasan Jafri stated that during recent Karachi visit of the FBR chairman bottlenecks in return filing were discussed. The issue of filing the newly introduced 7E Form was also discussed at length.

    “Our meeting remained very conducive wherein it was ensured that all the issues and concerns and the glitches would be removed at priority basis to ease and expedite preparation and the filing work both for taxpayers and the tax advisors,” the KTBA president said.

    Our meeting was followed by another very successful meeting at your directions, with the following members and the Chief Commissioner, Corporate Tax Office, Inland Revenue, Karachi on November 07, 2022 for the purpose of facilitation and resolution of the issues.

    The FBR chairman has been apprised that all the concerns which were shared, either these were related to return filing in general or filing of 7E form in particular are still pending unsolved.

    The taxpayers and their counsellors both are faced with the stigma of Status Quo. Subsequently a notification has been issued vide SRO 2052 on November 22, 2022 whereby the date for filing 7E annexure has been extended for those who already had filed their return before the form of 7E Annexure was introduced on October 13, 2022.

    This is another task assigned to the Taxpayers / Tax Advisors to complete it as per the stipulated times mentioned therein per SRO cited above and yet the Form to be submitted is still pending issued, which need to be issued as soon as possible in order to facilitate the Taxpayers within the stipulated time given to Taxpayers.

    Therefore, the KTBA urged the FBR chairman to extend the date for all the taxpayers at par instead, along with the resolution of these errors and mistakes.

  • Tax return filing date extended up to Dec 15, 2022

    Tax return filing date extended up to Dec 15, 2022

    ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Wednesday extended the last date for filing income tax returns by 15 days to December 15, 2022 from November 30, 2022.

    Finance Minister Ishaq Dar at a press conference announced the extension in return filing date.

    READ MORE: Another tax return filing date extension on the cards?

    A large number of taxpayers have filed their income tax returns for tax year 2022. Yet many taxpayers are stuck up in a complicated calculation of income from property and unable to discharge their liability of return filing.

    The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) had extended the last date till November 30, 2022 for filing income tax return for tax year 2022. However, tax experts believe that the FBR should have to resolve the matter under Section 7E of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 before setting deadline for return filing.

    The last date for filing income tax return was September 30, 2022 for all taxpayers except companies, which are required to file their returns up to December 31, 2022.

    However, through Circular No. 16 of 2022 and Circular No. 17 of 2022, the FBR granted date extension twice due to current flood situation in the country and request from various trade bodies and tax bar associations.

    Tax practitioners said that although the FBR had extended the date for return filing and resolved many issues pertaining to the return filing yet the taxpayers are facing problems related to calculation of deemed income under Section 7E of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

    Interestingly, the FBR issued SRO 1955(I)/2022 on October 24, 2022 to amend Income Tax Rules, 2002 and made it mandatory for taxpayers to provide details pertaining to deemed income of immovable property along with the return for tax year 2022.

    Since many taxpayers had filed their income tax returns during July 01 – October 23 so the amendment deprived such taxpayers in providing the required details.

    In order to resolve the issue the FBR issued another SRO 2052(I)/2022 allowing to submit details of deemed income by those taxpayers, who filed their returns before October 24, 2022.

    The tax practitioners said that the FBR should have been allowed relaxation to all the taxpayers the mandatory requirement of deemed income detail. They said that it should be deferred for one year as many taxpayers may not able to fulfil the requirement.

    During his recent visit Karachi, FBR chairman Asim Ahmad had made it clear that no date extension would be granted further beyond November 30, 2022. He however assured the tax practitioners that all the issues pertaining to the return filing would be resolved. Furthermore, tax authorities promised to issue a clarification related to Section 7E.

    Tax practitioners said that so far no such clarification was issued and complications in this regard was also not resolved.

    A month ago, Karachi Tax Bar Association (KTBA) sent a letter to the FBR chairman highlighting many issues related to return filing. At present the issues pertaining to Section 7E still are creating hurdles in return filing.
