Guides
Filing a return
Written from FBR's own IRIS manual rather than from a description of it, which is why the amount codes are here. Those codes are what you are looking at on screen.
Filing your return
The IRIS screens in order with the amount codes you will actually see, the wealth statement nobody expects, and what it costs if you are late.
Paying your tax
What a PSID is, where the seven-day expiry story actually comes from, which banks take which channels, and what to do when the receipt does not appear.
IRIS access
The recovery route for people who have lost both their registered email and phone, why there is no forgot-PIN link, and what you can change online.
Amended assessments
How long FBR has to reopen a return, the hearing it cannot skip, and why filing is itself an assessment order.
Advance tax
Why most salaried people are outside it, why a first year of self-employment usually is too, and the quarterly dates that differ by who you are.
Withholding statements
Who has to file them, why a nil statement is still required, and the cross-reference that puts an exporter's 0.25% rate at risk.
Appeals
Thirty days from the right date, what it costs, and the jurisdiction rule that was repealed a year after it arrived.
Refunds
The three-year window, the sixty days FBR has to answer, what to do when it does not, and the compensation it owes you for the delay.
Audit selection
Why one kind of selection comes with reasons and the other does not, the three-year immunity most people have never heard of, and what happens if you do not produce records.
Recovery
The notice that starts everything, the provision behind a frozen account, and why the recovery powers do not reach a live dispute.
