The National Board Revenue (NBR) may consider extending the deadline for income tax return submission due to disruptions caused by student-led mass movement in July and August.
“We will discuss the matter with the policy makers. If they agree then the time might be extended. But there is no scope to tell in advance,” NBR Chairman Md Abdur Rahman Khan said on Sunday.
He was speaking at a press briefing at the NBR conference room on the occasion of announcing Tax Service Month, said a press release.
The NBR chairman, however, said that till now the revenue collecting authority is not thinking anything regarding time extension. “Let us see the income tax return submission first.”
He said during the mass revolution in July and August people were away from their regular activities.
As per the normal procedure, November 30 is the last day for income return submission for the individual taxpayers.
The NBR chairman said that instead of organising income tax fair, services for receipt of income tax returns will be provided throughout the month of November in a fair environment as in previous years in all tax zones.
“All other taxpayers in the country are encouraged to file e-returns and income tax online,” he said.
