Income Tax Filing in Pakistan Gets Digital Upgrade with FBR’s New E-Form

New updates to the electronic income tax return form have been issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) in Tax Year 2025. The modified version will simplify tax returns of both salaried people and small enterprises. This news was announced by the Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb in his speech on the budget of the fiscal year on June 10, 2025.

The new electronic income tax return form replaces the previous 800-column version and now focuses on seven key information categories. Despite being labelled “simplified,” the form extends across 25 pages and is applicable to salaried individuals, small business owners, and professionals.

The updated form is part of the IRIS e-filing system and was notified through:

  • S.R.O. 1212(I)/2025 – Draft return form for companies
  • S.R.O. 1213(I)/2025 – Amendments to Income Tax Rules, 2002

The feedback can be provided by the stakeholders not later than seven days after the official Gazette notification. The alterations are in section 237 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
