29–30 June Extended working hours |
All field offices LTOs, MTOs, CTOs and RTOs covered |
Weekend Opening Gives Taxpayers More Time
The Federal Board of Revenue has directed all its field formations to observe normal working hours on June 27 and June 28, 2026. The decision covers Saturday and Sunday, which are usually non-working days for many offices, and is meant to support tax collection before the fiscal year ends on June 30.
For businesses, importers, companies and individual taxpayers, the announcement gives an additional window to complete payments, clear challans and coordinate with tax offices. The schedule is especially important because the last days of June normally see heavier traffic at tax offices and banking channels as taxpayers try to settle pending liabilities before year-end closing.
| Important: Only the working schedule has been announced. Taxpayers should still follow their own filing, payment and legal deadlines under the relevant tax laws. |
Extended Hours Added for June 29 and 30
FBR also said extended working hours will be observed on Monday, June 29, and Tuesday, June 30, 2026. These two dates fall immediately before the close of the fiscal year, making them critical for the collection of duties and taxes. Extended hours are often used near the end of June to reduce pressure on taxpayers and help field offices process higher volumes of receipts.
The board has instructed Large Taxpayer Offices, Medium Taxpayer Offices, Corporate Tax Offices and Regional Tax Offices across the country to follow the schedule. This means taxpayers dealing with income tax, sales tax, federal excise duty, customs-related payments and other revenue matters should check with their relevant office and banking channel before visiting or making payments.
Schedule Announced by FBR
| Date | Day | Office Status | What Taxpayers Should Do |
| 27 June 2026 | Saturday | Normal working hours | Use the weekend window for pending payments and office coordination |
| 28 June 2026 | Sunday | Normal working hours | Avoid waiting for the final two days if documents are ready |
| 29 June 2026 | Monday | Extended working hours | Complete high-priority tax and duty payments early in the day |
| 30 June 2026 | Tuesday | Extended working hours | Final fiscal-year day; expect heavier workload and rush |
Why the Move Matters for Businesses
The final week of June is a sensitive period for revenue collection because companies close accounts, reconcile tax records and settle outstanding government dues. Delayed payments can create compliance issues for taxpayers and collection pressure for the revenue authority. By keeping field offices open on the weekend and extending hours on the last two working days, FBR is trying to keep the payment process moving.
The decision may help taxpayers who need official support for challans, payment confirmations, documentation queries or coordination with relevant field formations. However, taxpayers should not treat the extended schedule as a reason to delay. Online systems, bank branches and office counters can face high load near the deadline, so earlier submission remains the safer approach.
| Taxpayer Tip: Prepare challans, payment references and supporting documents before visiting the office or using online payment channels. |
Offices Covered Under the Schedule
The directive applies to FBR field formations across Pakistan. These include Large Taxpayer Offices, Medium Taxpayer Offices, Corporate Tax Offices and Regional Tax Offices. These formations handle different taxpayer categories, but the basic purpose of the schedule is the same: to facilitate payment and collection of duties and taxes before the fiscal year closes.
Taxpayers should confirm the exact local arrangements of their relevant office, especially if they need counter assistance, record verification or coordination with a specific section. They should also keep proof of payment and acknowledgement records safely, as these may be needed for later reconciliation or audit-related queries.
| Warning: Incomplete payment details, incorrect tax periods or wrong challan information may cause problems even if the office is open. |
