What You Need Before You Start
- CNIC number and FBR IRIS login credentials (NTN and password)
- Salary certificate or business income details
- Bank profit certificate from your bank
- Details of all assets: property, vehicles, savings, investments
- Withholding tax certificates from your employer or clients
Filing Deadline: The income tax return for the tax year 2025-26 (July 2025 to June 2026) is due on 30 September 2026. Late filing results in a penalty of Rs 1,000 per day for individuals, up to a maximum of Rs 50,000.
Step-by-Step Filing Guide
- Login to FBR IRIS - Go to iris.fbr.gov.pk. Enter your NTN (same as CNIC for individuals) and password. If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot Password" option with your registered mobile number.
- Navigate to Declarations - After login, click "Declaration" in the left menu, then select "114(1) Return of Income" for the relevant tax year.
- Select Return Type - Choose your income type: Salaried, Business, or Property. Most individuals select "Salaried" unless they have business income.
- Fill Personal Information - Verify your CNIC, name, and address details. Update if incorrect.
- Enter Salary Income - In the Salary section, enter your annual gross salary, total WHT deducted by your employer, and employer NTN. This information is on your salary certificate.
- Enter Other Income - Add bank profit (from your bank certificate), rental income, dividend income, and any other taxable income sources.
- Complete Wealth Statement - Declare all assets: residential property (with value), commercial property, vehicles (with registration and value), savings accounts, cash, investments, and foreign assets.
- Reconcile Expenditure - IRIS will calculate the difference between your income and asset additions. Ensure this reconciles; any unexplained increase in assets creates tax exposure.
- Submit Return - Review all entries, click "Submit." You receive a system-generated acknowledgment number confirming your filing.
- Verify ATL Status - Check the ATL within 3-7 days on the FBR website to confirm your filer status is active.
Save Time: The IRIS portal can be complex, especially for first-time filers or those with multiple income sources. WhatsApp your CNIC, salary certificate, and asset list to 0328-4675162. Kamboh Associates files your complete return in 24 hours, guaranteed correct.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting bank profit - Banks report all profit to FBR; omitting it triggers discrepancies
- Under-declaring property value - Use FBR-notified values for property to avoid notices
- Incomplete wealth statement - All assets must be declared, not just property
- Wrong WHT entry - Cross-check your WHT figures with your IRIS tax ledger before entering
- Filing nil return when income exists - Filing incorrect returns can result in FBR notices
