FBR Tax Audit & Notice in Pakistan — What to Do First

Received an FBR audit notice or tax demand? Steps to respond, documents to prepare, and how chartered accountants represent taxpayers during FBR audit.

An FBR audit notice or tax demand letter can be stressful — but a structured response protects your rights and often reduces arbitrary adjustments. FBR audits salary mismatches, undeclared bank credits, investment income, and wealth statement inconsistencies.

Immediate steps after receiving a notice

Note the deadline, section cited, and tax year under review. Gather returns filed, employer certificates, bank statements, and correspondence. Do not ignore the notice — missed deadlines limit appeal options and trigger default assessments.
