AR Raheem Consulting — Corporate Law Firm · Qaisar Bukhari, Tax & Corporate Advisor
Thousands of Pakistani taxpayers receive notices from the Federal Board of Revenue every year — and most don't know why.
Understanding the reason behind a notice is the first step to resolving it quickly and confidently.
COMMON REASONS FBR ISSUES NOTICES
🔴 Non-filing of Tax Returns — Notice under Section 114 & 181 if your return was missed.
🔴 Underreporting or Misreporting — Income discrepancy flagged against bank or employer records.
🔴 Outstanding Tax Liability — Unpaid taxes, penalties, or adjustments in previous filings.
🔴 Audit or Inquiry Selection — Risk-based or transaction discrepancy triggers a review.
🔴 Mismatch with Third-Party Data — Inconsistencies between your filings and external reports.
🔴 Non-compliance with Withholding — Employers/businesses failing to remit collected taxes.
🔴 Penalties or Defaults — Late filing or violations triggering deadline-bound notices.
🔴 Other Statutory Obligations — Missing declarations, statements, or required information.
Purpose of FBR Notices: To inform taxpayers of issues, provide an opportunity to respond or pay dues, and — if unresolved — initiate audits or recovery proceedings.
