Income tax return filing in Lahore

Income Tax Return Filing in Lahore

Salaried professionals, traders and freelancers across Lahore can become filers without visiting a tax office. We register you with FBR, prepare your return and wealth statement, and file on IRIS.

Last date: the return for tax year 2026 is normally due by 30 September 2026. Filed after that, an individual pays a Rs 25,000 surcharge under the Finance Act 2026 to get onto the Active Taxpayer List.

Filing from Lahore

Lahore has one of the country’s largest salaried workforces, across banks, multinationals, universities, hospitals and government departments, alongside a large software and IT services sector around Arfa Software Technology Park. Most of these people already have tax deducted at source and simply need a return on record.

It is also a city of traders, from the Hall Road electronics market and Shah Alam Market to Liberty and Anarkali. Traders’ returns take more care than salaried ones, because business income, stock and household assets all have to reconcile in the wealth statement.

Individuals in Lahore fall under one of FBR’s Lahore tax offices, but that does not change how you file. Registration and returns are done online through IRIS, and we do it with you by phone and WhatsApp.
