Professional ProfileRequired documents for income tax return filing in Pakistan start with your CNIC, IRIS login, last year's wealth statement and every bank statement. Salary, business, freelance and property records are then added according to how you earn and what you own.
Call 0333 1127834 and we will tell you what to collect.
| Issue | Income Tax Return Filing | NTN Registration | ATL Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Annual declaration of income and tax position | Creates or establishes the FBR taxpayer profile | Shows current Active Taxpayer List position |
| Typical system | FBR IRIS | FBR registration / IRIS profile | FBR ATL verification |
| Same thing? | No | No | No |
| Common mistake | Filing without reconciling income and wealth | Creating a duplicate profile | Assuming filing automatically resolves current ATL status |
Required documents for income tax return filing in Pakistan fall into a core set that every individual needs and an additional set that depends on how the person earns and what they own. Collecting them before you start is what makes the return and wealth statement agree.
| Core document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| CNIC (or NICOP) | Identity; your CNIC is your NTN |
| IRIS login, registered mobile and email | Access to the FBR portal |
| Last year's return and wealth statement | Opening wealth for this year |
| Bank statements for all accounts (1 July – 30 June) | Income, balances and tax deducted |
| Profit / withholding certificates from banks | Tax credits on bank profit |
Much of the tax a person pays during the year is deducted by others. Claiming it is part of the required documents for income tax return filing:
The wealth statement lists everything owned and owed on 30 June. The required documents for income tax return filing therefore include evidence of the cost of each asset — property, vehicles, investments, gold, cash — and of loans taken or given. Gifts and inheritance should be supported by documents from the giver or by succession papers.
If something is missing, we tell you what replaces it — for example, a bank can issue a statement for a closed account.
| Taxpayer | What we do | Professional fee |
|---|---|---|
| Widows, household women and retired persons | Simple return and wealth statement from pension, savings and household records | From PKR 5,000 |
| Salaried person | Document check, return and wealth statement | Quoted after review |
| Business owner or AOP | Accounts from records, return and wealth statement | Quoted after review |
| Freelancer or overseas Pakistani | Remittance and residence review, return | Quoted after review |
PKR 5,000 is our minimum fee for widows, household women and retired persons. Other work on preparing a return from the required documents for income tax return filing is quoted after we see the records, because the effort depends on how many income sources, bank accounts and assets have to be reconciled.
Send your documents or call 0333 1127834. The tax year 2026 deadline for individuals is 31 October 2026.
