What this value means
RULES, NOT DATES. Each rule carries its own citation, anchor phrase and last_confirmed; the series last_confirmed is the oldest of them. effective_from is null on purpose: the rules rest on different instruments with different commencement dates, and no single date would be true of all of them. The paid response adds due_dates, computed from the rules over a window (default the next 365 days; from/to/year_end/tax query parameters). scripts/deadline-verify.mjs re-fetches every cited source and re-finds every anchor.

Each rule is cited to the official source, with the phrase that states it. A machine re-reads every cited source and re-finds that phrase; a rule whose phrase disappears is flagged for review.

Business days exclude this country's weekly rest days (Saturday, Sunday) and the NATIONAL public holidays in its public-holidays series. Regional holidays are not applied. Each due date is computed from the cited rule; the rule is the citable fact, the date is our arithmetic on it. Thresholds, elections, extensions and sector regimes that move a taxpayer between rules are described in each rule's applies_to and notes, not decided here. The served holiday calendar covers 2026-01-01 to 2026-12-31. Dates outside it are weekend-checked only and may still fall on a public holiday. Where roll_unverified is true the statutory date is not a business day and the cited source does not say whether the deadline moves earlier or later. We do not guess: due_date is the statutory date, and the adjustments list names the conflict.
Not covered here
We hold no verified rule for these taxes in PK. Each reason is given; where a deadline exists but its source could not be verified, we hold none rather than guess.
- PAYE / payroll withholding: Deposit of tax withheld from salary is governed by Income Tax Rules 2002 r.43 (weekly, within 7 days of each week ending Sunday for non-government agents — not a period-end rule) and s.165 statements; the FBR-hosted Income Tax Ordinance PDFs (amended to 30.06.2026, 20.02.2026, 31.07.2025) expose no usable text layer to the anchor checker and no FBR HTML page states the deadline.
- Corporate income tax: Company return due dates (s.118) and quarterly advance tax (s.147: 25 Sep/25 Dec/25 Mar/15 Jun) are only in the FBR Ordinance PDFs, which the anchor checker cannot read; the FBR 'Income Tax due dates' page states only the tax-year definition, and FBR event pages are year-specific notices.
