If you did not file your tax return for 2025, you could face serious restrictions from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). The Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 empowers the FBR under Section 114C to limit economic transactions of non-filers, ensuring compliance and discouraging tax evasion.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has significant authority to ensure compliance with tax filing obligations in Pakistan. With tax year 2025 filing mostly concluded, except for corporate returns due on December 31, 2025, it is important for taxpayers to understand what actions the FBR can take if returns are not filed on time.

Corporate taxation in Pakistan can be complex, and businesses need to stay informed to comply effectively. One important provision that companies should be aware of for tax year 2026 is the Alternative Corporate Tax (ACT), governed under Section 113C of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

As Pakistan enters Tax Year 2026, businesses and high-turnover individuals must once again evaluate whether minimum tax under Section 113 applies to them. Even if your business reports losses or enjoys exemptions, minimum tax may still be payable. Here’s a simple, interactive breakdown to help you understand when and how it applies.
