FBR may meet July-Oct target

The Federal Board of Revenue is expected to reach its revenue goal for July-October of fiscal 2026-27 by October 31, Business Recorder reported. Provisional figures show collections of Rs4,058.5 billion against a four-month target of Rs4,185 billion, leaving a gap of more than Rs120 billion. The final position will only be known after the figures are compiled.

October collections stood at Rs975 billion during the first 30 days, compared with a monthly target of Rs1,132 billion, a difference of Rs157 billion. The report noted that a large share of receipts typically arrives on the month’s final day, and said the provisional gap is expected to narrow as final data is assembled in the coming days. These figures therefore do not yet establish whether the target was ultimately met.
