The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) has called on Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend the deadline for filing income tax returns, citing severe technical glitches and slowdowns on the FBR's online IRIS portal, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.
The chamber said the system issues have made it difficult for taxpayers to complete their filings within the current deadline.
The IRIS portal is the online system used by the FBR for electronic filing of income tax returns in Pakistan. Complaints about technical performance on the platform, particularly around filing deadlines, have periodically prompted calls from business groups for extensions.
The FBR had not responded to the RCCI's request at the time of the report.
