Islamabad, December 24, 2025 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced that its field offices will operate with extended working hours to facilitate taxpayers in meeting their duty and tax obligations before the year-end deadlines.
This initiative is aimed at boosting revenue collection and providing convenience to corporate and individual taxpayers.
In a communication addressed to Large Taxpayers Offices (LTOs), Medium Taxpayers Offices (MTOs), Corporate Tax Offices (CTOs), and Regional Tax Offices (RTOs), the FBR confirmed that its offices will remain open on Saturday, December 27, 2025, maintaining regular working hours to accommodate taxpayers who need to submit payments before the end of the year.
Additionally, the FBR has directed that all field offices observe extended working hours on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, staying open until 10:00 PM. This step has been taken to ensure taxpayers, particularly corporate entities with the return filing deadline for the tax year 2025 on December 31, have ample time to complete their obligations without facing last-minute difficulties.
Sadaf Ihsan, Second Secretary (IR Operations), emphasized that this measure reflects FBR’s commitment to facilitating taxpayers while maximizing revenue collection as the first half of the current fiscal year concludes. The initiative also aims to reduce congestion at tax offices by allowing staggered submissions across multiple days.
Tax experts have welcomed the FBR’s decision, noting that extended working hours will provide relief to businesses and individuals alike, ensuring smooth tax filing and payment processes during the busy year-end period. Taxpayers are encouraged to utilize the extended hours efficiently and comply with all necessary documentation requirements to avoid penalties.
This move underscores the FBR’s proactive approach toward effective tax administration and year-end revenue mobilization in Pakistan.
