The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has acknowledged that taxpayers are experiencing intermittent problems with its IRIS online tax portal as the deadline for filing tax returns approaches.
The issue has created difficulties for taxpayers attempting to access the system and complete their tax-related submissions through the online platform.
In a statement posted on X, the FBR confirmed that its teams are working to address the technical problems affecting the IRIS portal.
The tax authority said taxpayers would be informed once the issue has been resolved, although the statement did not provide a specific timeframe for the restoration of normal service.
IRIS is the FBR’s online platform used by taxpayers for a range of tax-related activities, including filing income tax returns and submitting other required information.
Technical disruptions on the system can create additional pressure for taxpayers, particularly when filing deadlines are approaching and a large number of users are accessing the portal at the same time.
The latest acknowledgment from the FBR comes as taxpayers work to complete their filing requirements before the applicable deadline. Intermittent access problems can make it difficult for users to submit returns or complete other processes within the required period.
The FBR’s technical teams are now working to identify and resolve the reported issues. Taxpayers have been advised to wait for further communication from the tax authority regarding the status of the portal.
The disruption also highlights the growing importance of reliable digital infrastructure for Pakistan’s tax administration. As more tax services move online, taxpayers increasingly depend on government digital platforms to meet their legal and financial obligations.
For taxpayers who have already prepared their returns, continued portal interruptions could affect their ability to complete the final submission process.
The FBR’s confirmation that the issue is being addressed provides an official acknowledgment of the technical difficulties being experienced by users. Further updates from the tax authority are expected once its teams determine that the IRIS system has been restored.
Taxpayers using IRIS should continue monitoring official FBR communications for updates and any information concerning the portal’s availability and filing requirements.
The situation remains particularly important for taxpayers because the filing deadline is approaching, making the timely restoration of the system essential for those who need to complete their returns through IRIS.
