Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) President Younus Muhammad Bashir has requested the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend last date for filing income tax return from October 31, 2015, to November 30, 2015.
In a statement, the KCCI president pointed out that a large number of KCCI members, while seeking assistance, stated that they may not be able to file their returns by October 31, 2015, due to Muharram holidays in which internet and mobile phone services were completely suspended while the main hub of Karachi city’s business and commercial activities was completely sealed by law enforcement agencies to ensure foolproof security to Ashura processions.
Therefore, for the larger interest of revenue collection and the business and industrial community, the KCCI president requested the FBR to extend the last date of filing income tax returns up to November 30, 2015, while considering the Muharram holidays and complications in the income tax return form.
