Overview

Do Not Ignore an FBR Notice

FBR issues notices for many reasons: a return was not filed, figures in the return do not match information FBR has received, your wealth increased without explanation, or your case was selected for audit. Each notice has a deadline, and ignoring it can lead to a best-judgement assessment, penalties or recovery action.

A good reply is factual, on time and supported by documents. Our consultants read the notice with you, explain what FBR is asking, gather the evidence and prepare a professional written response. Where required, we file returns or revisions, request extensions and attend hearings with the tax officer on your behalf.

Good to Know

Before You Reply to FBR

Check the deadline first

Every notice gives a date by which you must respond. If you need more time to collect documents, an extension can often be requested before the deadline, but it should not be assumed.

Answer exactly what is asked

A reply should address each point in the notice with facts and documents. Long, general or emotional replies tend to create more questions rather than fewer.

Keep a record of everything

Keep copies of the notice, your reply, the submission acknowledgement and any order issued. These are important if the matter goes to appeal.

FAQs

Questions About FBR Notice Reply

Answers to the questions clients ask us most about this service.

FBR may assess your tax on the basis of the information it has, add penalties and default surcharge, and start recovery proceedings. Responding on time is always the better option.

Yes. In most non-filing cases the right response is to file the missing return, along with a reply to the notice. We handle both.

Usually not. With your authorisation, our consultant can attend and present your case. We tell you in advance if your presence is needed.

As soon as you receive the notice. The earlier we start, the more time we have to collect documents and prepare a strong reply.
