The official deadline for filing income tax return was November 30. But the tax authorities extended the time by one month until December 31 as the number of return submissions was low.
The tax offices will remain closed on Friday and Saturday (December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2022). The NBR will receive individual income tax return on Sunday (January 2, 2022) for the income year 2021-22.
