As the fiscal year draws to a close, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced special operational arrangements aimed at boosting tax and duty collections across the country. In a recent directive, the tax authority instructed all of its field offices to remain open on June 27 and 28, 2026, despite the weekend schedule.
The move is part of FBR’s broader strategy to facilitate taxpayers and ensure smooth processing of revenue-related transactions before the end of the financial year. Taxpayers who need to submit payments, complete documentation, or resolve tax matters will have additional opportunities to visit FBR offices during these days.
In addition to weekend operations, the FBR has also ordered extended working hours on June 29 and 30. These final days of the fiscal year are traditionally critical for revenue collection, and the extended schedule is intended to help maximize government receipts and support annual tax targets.
The directive applies to all major FBR formations nationwide, including Large Taxpayers’ Offices (LTOs), Medium Taxpayers’ Offices (MTOs), Corporate Tax Offices (CTOs), and Regional Tax Offices (RTOs). Officials have been instructed to ensure full operational readiness and provide necessary assistance to taxpayers during this period.
The decision reflects the government’s continued focus on strengthening tax collection efforts and improving compliance. By keeping offices accessible during the final days of June, the FBR aims to facilitate taxpayers while securing revenue objectives before the fiscal year officially concludes on June 30.
Tax experts believe the extended office hours will benefit businesses and individuals who often rush to settle outstanding tax liabilities near the year-end deadline. The initiative is expected to streamline the payment process and reduce last-minute congestion at tax offices.
With the fiscal year entering its final phase, taxpayers are encouraged to take advantage of the additional working days and complete their tax-related obligations in a timely manner.
