ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has made the process of filing income tax returns easier for overseas Pakistanis, allowing them to submit returns online through the Federal Board of Revenue’s IRIS portal.
According to officials, the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment has launched a special awareness campaign to educate overseas Pakistanis about the importance of filing income tax returns and the procedure involved.
The bureau said overseas Pakistanis earning income in Pakistan are required to file tax returns. This includes income generated from rented properties, investments, agricultural land, and business activities.
