Deadline extended further till Apr 30

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has extended the deadline once again for company taxpayers to file their income tax returns.

In an order issued on Wednesday, the deadline for filing company returns has been extended until April 30.

According to the order signed by Second Secretary of Tax Policy, HM Shahriar Hasan, the NBR has exercised its authority under Section 334, Clause (b) of the Income Tax Act, 2023, to set April 30, 2025, as the new deadline for company taxpayers defined under the act for the 2024-25 tax year, replacing the previously set deadline of 16 March 2025.

Earlier, several business organisations have recently sent letters to the NBR, requesting an extension for filing company returns.

In the 2023-24 fiscal year, the deadline for company return submissions was also extended until April 30.

Earlier on January 30, the NBR issued a notification extending the deadline for individual taxpayers from January 31 to February 16, while the deadline for company tax returns was extended from February 15 to March 16.
