Income Tax Return Filing
We file your income tax return on FBR's IRIS portal, and we check your status before and after filing — so you know, with proof, whether you are actually on the Active Taxpayer List. Salaried, freelancer, business, company or partnership: one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole job, and the consultation with our expert team is free.
Consultation is free. Our service fee is confirmed with you on WhatsApp before we file anything — no return is submitted without your go-ahead, and you review the draft first.
Check your status with us before you pay for anything
Most people who message us are not starting from zero. They filed once years ago, or someone filed for them, or they have no idea whether they are on the filer list at all. So the first thing we do is verify — free, on WhatsApp — before talking about a new return.
Are you on the ATL?
We check your Active Taxpayer List status and tell you plainly whether you are showing as a filer or a non-filer, and for which tax years.
Which years are filed?
We check which tax years already have a return on record, so you never pay twice for a year that is already done — and never leave a gap you did not know about.
Any notice or demand?
If FBR has raised anything against your record, we read it with you first and tell you what it actually means, instead of filing blindly over the top of it.
You can also check the filer list yourself in seconds: send ATL, a space, then your 13-digit CNIC to 9966 by SMS (for a company or partnership, ATL followed by the 7-digit NTN). If that check says you are not active, the missing step is almost always a return that was never filed — and that is exactly what we fix.
Personal returns: salary, freelance, rent, pension and more
Here is the misunderstanding that costs salaried people money every year. Your employer deducts tax from your salary and sends it to FBR — and that feels like the job is done. It is not. Deduction is not filing. Only a filed return puts your name on the Active Taxpayer List, and only filing lets you claim back tax that was deducted in excess. Until you file, you keep paying non-filer withholding rates on banking, property and vehicle transactions, even though tax is already coming out of your pay.
A personal return pulls together every head of income the law recognises: salary, income from property or rent, business or professional income, capital gains, and income from other sources. For most salaried clients that means salary slips and bank statements, plus any rent, investment profit or side income that also has to be declared. Freelancers are in the same boat — platform earnings, foreign client payments and local consultancy all belong in the same return, and leaving one source out is how mismatches start.
Then there is the wealth statement, the part people forget. It records what you owned and owed as of 30 June — bank balances, property, vehicles, investments, and any loans outstanding. It is not an extra form for the sake of it. FBR compares it with your declared income, and a return without a matching wealth statement is one of the easiest things for the system to flag later. We prepare both together, and you see the draft before anything is submitted.
Overseas Pakistanis with income or assets in Pakistan are handled the same way, fully online. Message us and we confirm first whether filing applies to your case — some overseas situations do not need a return at all, and we will say so rather than sell you one.
Business returns are a different job, not a bigger personal one
A business return is not a personal return with larger numbers. The income is worked out from records, not from a salary slip, and the return has to reconcile with your bank statements. That is where most self-filed business returns go wrong — the figures look fine in isolation and fall apart the moment FBR compares them with bank credits. Our team builds the return from your records first, then files it, so the numbers going in already tie together.
| Entity | What we prepare | Records we work from |
|---|---|---|
| Sole proprietor / freelancer business | Business income worked out from sales and expenses, with the personal return covering any salary, rent or other income alongside it | Sales records, expense bills, bank statements, business NTN details |
| Partnership / AOP | The firm's own return, with each partner's share dealt with correctly, plus profit and loss drawn from the firm's books | Partnership deed, firm bank statements, sales and expense records, partners' CNICs |
| Company (Pvt Ltd / SMC / LLP) | The company's return with financial statements, depreciation where it applies, and withholding reconciled against bank and tax records | Incorporation documents, company bank statements, sales and purchase records, payroll and withholding records, directors' details |
If your accounts are not in shape, tell us that upfront. Putting a return together from messy records takes longer, and we would rather quote you honestly after seeing them than promise a same-day job and miss it. The fee is confirmed on WhatsApp before filing in every case.

From first message to verified filer status
Free consultation
Message us with your situation — salaried, freelancer, business, company, or "I have no idea where I stand." Our expert team reviews your case, checks your status where possible, and confirms your fee before any work starts.
Documents & draft
You send your documents on WhatsApp. We work out your income, withholding adjustments and wealth statement, then show you the draft return to review. Nothing moves forward until you approve it.
Filed on IRIS
We submit your return on FBR's IRIS portal. If any balance tax is due, we generate the payment challan (PSID) and share the payment receipt (CPR) with you as proof.
Proof & verification
You receive the IRIS acknowledgement slip — your legal proof of filing — and we verify your filer status for you afterwards, so you can see the result rather than take our word for it.
A word about suspiciously cheap returns. You will see offers online for a return at a throwaway price. What those usually deliver is a nil or incomplete return, a skipped wealth statement, or income figures that do not match your bank record. The saving looks good until FBR's system flags the mismatch — and the penalty that follows costs far more than a properly prepared return ever did. We ask questions first precisely so that does not happen to you.
Late, missed or already questioned — all of it is fixable
Returns for a tax year are normally filed in the months after 30 June, and filing after the usual window can carry a late-filing surcharge. That does not mean a missed year is lost. Back returns can still be filed, and we confirm the surcharge position with you on WhatsApp before filing so there are no surprises. If you have several unfiled years, we work through them in order and tell you honestly which ones matter most, rather than selling you the whole set at once.
An FBR notice is not, by itself, a disaster — but it is not something to ignore either. Most notices we see are about a mismatch: withholding that does not line up with the return, a wealth statement that does not explain an asset, or a year that was never filed. Send us the notice on WhatsApp and we read it with you, work out what FBR is actually asking for, and advise the reply. Notices have their own deadlines, so this is the one case where sooner genuinely matters.
And if a previous return was filed wrongly — wrong income, missing source, no wealth statement — that can usually be corrected too. Tell us what was filed and what was wrong, and we will advise whether a revision is possible before doing anything.
Fully online, across Pakistan and for overseas Pakistanis
Returns are filed on the IRIS portal, so there is no tax-office visit and no city-dependent step. Clients in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Hyderabad and every other city are served the same way, on WhatsApp — and so are overseas Pakistanis who need to file for income or assets in Pakistan.
Tax Returns — Asked & Answered
My employer already deducts tax from my salary. Do I still need to file?
Yes. Deduction and filing are two different things. Your employer withholds tax, but only a filed return puts you on the Active Taxpayer List — and only filing lets you claim back tax deducted in excess of what you actually owed. Without a return, you stay on non-filer withholding rates even though tax is already leaving your salary.
How do I know my return is really filed?
Two proofs, both shared with you: the IRIS acknowledgement slip issued when your return is submitted, and a filer-status verification afterwards. We check your ATL status for you after filing, so you can see the result yourself instead of relying on a verbal assurance.
I missed last year — or several years. Can I still file?
Yes, back returns can be filed. Filing late can carry a surcharge, which we confirm with you before filing. If several years are unfiled, message us and we will work out the order that makes most sense rather than filing everything at once.
How is a business return different from a personal one?
A personal return is built mainly from salary, rent, investment and other personal income, plus a wealth statement. A business return is built from the business's own records — sales, expenses, bank credits and, for companies, financial statements and depreciation. The two are prepared differently because FBR checks them differently.
What happens if FBR sends me a notice after filing?
Send it to us on WhatsApp first, before replying. Most notices are about a mismatch between the return and withholding or bank records, or a wealth statement that needs explaining. We read the notice, tell you what FBR is asking for, and advise the reply. Notices carry deadlines, so do not leave one sitting.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Our expert team reviews your situation on WhatsApp — including a status check where possible — and confirms your service fee before any filing work starts. If filing does not apply to your case, we say so. Nothing is filed, and nothing is charged, without your go-ahead.
