RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) has urged the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to extend the last date for submission of tax returns. In a statement issued on Friday, RCCI President Usman Shaukat highlighted the persistent issues with FBR’s online system (Iris), which has slowed down significantly due to heavy filing traffic. He said that the closure of banks and other relevant institutions on Saturdays and Sundays had further added to the difficulties faced by taxpayers in obtaining necessary documents and processing bank-related requirements. “System glitches and slowness complaints are continuously being reported by members and traders,” he said.
