Again IRIS System of FBR is not working since more than two hours at least..... @FBRSpokesperson please wakeup!!!! it is difficult to do compliances and difficult to file Corporate Tax Returns....

[Zeeshan Merchant @mmmerchant]

IRIS System of FBR is NOT WORKING AGAIN.

Same problem is persisting and making the lives miserable of taxpayers and tax consultants alike.

I don't know who can help resolve this problem?

Sanity prevailed!!

It is impossible that a person of such a high caliber, high values & moral ground @SShabbarZaidi can even think of doing such a thing. I recall, I was the President of Karachi Tax Bar Association at that time & we were of the same view then that its impossible

[Kamran Khan @AajKamranKhan]

شدید ترین افسوس سے کہنا پڑتا ہے کچھ ریاستی اداروں نے پاکستان کو مذاق کا نام بنا دیا ہے یہاں زکر ہے FBR اور FIA کا اور معاملہ ہے FIR کا جو درج کروائی FBR نے پاکستان کے چوٹی کے بزنس گروپس HBL ENGRO NISHAT. گروپس وغیرہ کے خلاف اور سابق FBR Chairman شبر زیدی کے خلاف کے وہ کرپشن کے مرتکب ہوئے کیونکہ انہوں نے ان گروپس کو انکے اربوں رپوں کے refunds جاری کروا دئے اب مجبوراً پاکستان کے سب سے مضبوط ادارے کو حرکت میں آنا پڑا FBR اور FIA دم دبا کر بھاگ گئے اور FIR ختم ہو گئی توبہ ! توبہ!

Kufar toota khuda khuda kar k

FBR finally wakes up!

Fixes the Bank Profit issue (excess tax now refundable) and resolves the Surcharge U/s. 4AB for AOP Members — just 25 hours before the deadline.

Timing on point!😅
@FBRSpokesperson @AajKamranKhan @javedhassan @MuzzammilAslam3

[Zeeshan Merchant @mmmerchant]

FBR @FBRSpokesperson has formed a Committee to resolve GLITCHES in Tax Returns.

Brilliant timing — the last date to file returns is just 49 hours away i.e. 31st October 2025.

Truly a masterclass!!!

@AajKamranKhan @javedhassan @MuzzammilAslam3 @pkrevenue

[Zeeshan Merchant @mmmerchant]

AGAIN changes made in RETURN 03 Days before the deadline.HAS FBR COMPLETELY LOST IT?

NO ONE IN FBR is paying heed to the grievances of Taxpayers!

UNFORTUNATE

Can PM or someone from your office intervene @CMShehbaz?

My latest podcast with @AajKamranKhan

[Kamran Khan @AajKamranKhan]

تنخواہ دار پاکستانی بری طرح پس رہے ہیں
ایف بی آر نے ایک بار پھر ایماندار اور محنتی سَیلریڈ کلاس کو کچل ڈالا ہے۔ جو لوگ پہلے ہی تنخواہ سے ٹیکس کٹواتے ہیں، انہی پر نیا بوجھ ڈال کر ایف بی آر اپنی “ریکارڈ ٹیکس وصولی” کے نعرے لگا رہا ہے۔ حقیقت یہ ہے کہ ٹیکس نیٹ بڑھانے کے بجائے حکومت نے وہی پرانے ایماندار لوگوں کو مزید نچوڑ دیا ہے، جبکہ بڑے تاجر، ریئل اسٹیٹ مافیا اور نان فائلرز بدستور محفوظ ہیں۔
نتیجہ؟ ہزاروں تعلیم یافتہ اور ہنرمند پاکستانی ملک چھوڑنے پر مجبور!آج کے On My Radar میں کامران خان کے ساتھ معروف ٹیکس ایکسپرٹ ذیشان مرچنٹ بتائیں گے کہ ایف بی آر کی یہ پالیسی کس طرح معیشت کو کمزور اور متوسط طبقے کو تباہ کر رہی ہے۔یہ وڈیو ضرور دیکھیے — اگر آپ بھی تنخواہ دار طبقے کے اس ظالمانہ نظام سے تنگ آ چکے ہیں

True representation of Taxpayers and Tax Consultants by Karachi Tax Bar Association and very aptly written by @pkrevenue

I must commend the efforts of Brother Shahnawaz Akhter for becoming the voice of taxpayers/consultants. Kudos!
