FBR Notice & Tax Audit Lawyer in Karachi
Legal replies to FBR notices, audit selection, show-cause notices and recovery action.
In brief
FBR notices can ask for information, select you for audit, question your property purchases or bank credits, or propose an additional tax. Each one has a specific legal basis and a response date, and an ignored notice can lead to an ex parte order.
We check whether the notice is valid and in time, prepare a focused reply with your records, attend hearings with your accountant, and take the matter to appeal if necessary.
Individuals and businesses that have received an FBR, Inland Revenue or audit notice.

Questions clients ask
What happens if I ignore an FBR notice?
The officer may pass an order without your input, and recovery action can follow, so it is best not to ignore it.
Can I ask for more time?
You can usually request an extension with reasons. It is at the officer's discretion, so apply before the deadline.
Are all FBR notices valid?
Not always. Notices can have jurisdiction, time-limit or procedure issues, which is why we review the legal basis first.
