The Federal Board of Revenue has further extended the due date for submission of sales tax and federal excise return and special sales tax return for production and supplies for the tax period August 2008, upto September 30.
According to an FBR announcement on Friday, the last date for filing of these sales tax returns was September 25, which has been extended to facilitate the business community. The decision has been taken due to the technical disruption in the FBR''s web portal following the Marriott hotel blast. The bomb explosion at the hostel left the board''s Web-Portal inoperative for six days.
The board, however, made it clear that the payment of taxes for August 2008 had to be made by September 20 as already announced and no further extension would be given to those yet to deposit their taxes. Similarly, the board would not change September 30 being the last date for the submission of annual sales tax return by the corporate sector.
