Around 4.7m income tax returns received so far

According to Business Recorder, the FBR has logged approximately 4.7 million income tax filings for Tax Year 2026 up to this point. That figure is set against 3.2 million returns logged over the same stretch of the previous fiscal year. The current tally therefore sits ahead of last year's pace at this stage.

The number of filings to date sits roughly 1.52 million above the total recorded at the same point last year. Both totals cover the matching period, so the comparison is made on a like-for-like basis. The report does not state how much tax has been collected or how many returns remain to be filed. Such early filing figures offer a snapshot of taxpayer activity as the year develops.
