PESHAWAR: The business community has demanded of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend the date for filing income tax returns till Jan 31, 2024.

In a joint statement here on Thursday, office bearers of various bodies of traders said that the date should be extended so that the business community could easily submit their tax returns.

Markazi Tanzeem-i-Tajiran provincial president Malik Meher Ilahi and Traders Alliance Federation provincial president Ghulam Bilal Javed requested the federal government to extend the deadline of Sept 30 to Jan 31, 2024.

They said inflation had badly-affected business activities and as result of the current financial crisis most of the members of business community were unable to submit their tax returns within the due date.
