As the year draws to a close, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has taken an important step to support taxpayers and ensure smooth revenue collection. To accommodate the rush typically seen at the end of December, the FBR has decided to keep its offices open beyond regular schedules.
According to an official notification, the usual Saturday holiday has been cancelled for December 27, 2025. On this day, all major tax offices working under the Chief Commissioners of Inland Revenue will operate normally. This includes Large Tax Offices (LTOs), Medium Taxpayer Offices (MTOs), Corporate Tax Offices (CTOs), and Regional Tax Offices (RTOs) across the country.
The move is aimed at providing taxpayers with additional time and access to complete their pending tax-related matters, especially those facing difficulties due to tight deadlines.
In addition to opening offices on Saturday, the FBR has also announced extended working hours on Wednesday, December 31, 2025. On the last day of the year, relevant tax offices will remain open until 10:00 pm, allowing individuals and businesses extra time to finalize payments, submit documents, and resolve outstanding issues.
This decision reflects the FBR’s focus on improving taxpayer facilitation while also ensuring timely year-end revenue collection for the national exchequer. Taxpayers are encouraged to make use of these extended working hours to avoid last-minute complications and ensure compliance with tax obligations.
With these measures in place, the FBR hopes to ease pressure on taxpayers while closing the year on a strong and organized note.
