The income tax return deadline for Pakistan tax year 2025-26 is 30 September 2026 for individuals and AOPs, and 31 December 2026 for companies. Missing this deadline results in automatic penalties. This guide covers all filing deadlines, penalties for late filing, and how to avoid them.
Tax Return Deadlines Pakistan 2026
