October 15, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

ISLAMABAD: In a proactive move to ease the financial strain on the salaried class, Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Rashid Mahmood Langrial has initiated measures aimed at providing relief to employees facing challenges due to advance income tax notices.

Langrial’s intervention comes as a response to growing concerns among workers who have been receiving advance income tax notifications, which have added to their financial burdens. The FBR Chairman emphasized the need to address these issues promptly, stating, “We are committed to ensuring that the salaried class is not unduly burdened by tax regulations that complicate their financial stability.”

This initiative is expected to have significant implications for the economy, as it seeks to alleviate the financial pressures faced by a large segment of the workforce. By addressing these tax concerns, the government aims to foster a more conducive environment for economic growth and stability, ultimately benefiting the broader population.

Looking ahead, the FBR plans to hold consultations with stakeholders to refine tax policies and ensure that the salaried class receives the necessary support. Further announcements are anticipated in the coming weeks as the government continues to prioritize the welfare of its citizens.
