How to Get FESCO Electricity Tax Deduction Certificate in Pakistan

FESCO customers can now get their electricity tax deduction certificate online or from their July bill. Here’s how to download the official FESCO tax certificate for income tax filing.

If you are a customer of Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) and need to file your income tax return with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), you must obtain your FESCO Tax Deduction Certificate, also known as the Certificate of Collection of Tax.

This certificate shows the total amount of income tax (withholding tax) deducted from your electricity bills during the previous financial year and is a necessary document for claiming tax credit in your return.

You can acquire this certificate by either using your July electricity bill or downloading it through the official PITC online portal.

Method 1: Use Your July FESCO Electricity Bill

Each year, the July bill issued by FESCO contains a breakdown of the withholding tax deducted from your electricity bills from July to June of the previous financial year.

To use this method:

Retrieve your FESCO electricity bill issued in July.
Locate the section showing “Tax Deducted” or “Total Withholding Tax”.
Use this information while filing your tax return on the FBR IRIS portal.

This is a valid method, but if your July bill is unavailable or if you want a digital copy, the online method is ideal.

The Pakistan Information Technology Company (PITC) provides an online facility to get your FESCO Tax Deduction Certificate digitally and conveniently. Steps to Follow:

Go to the PITC Web Portal:
From the list of DISCOs, under Faisalabad Electric Supply Company, click on “Check Bill”.
Choose your method of input: Reference Number (14 digits), or Customer ID (10 digits)
If using the Reference Number, you may need to select “U” or “R”, which appears at the end of your reference number on your physical bill.
Click “Search” and wait for your bill to load.
Once the bill is displayed, click “Tax Certificate” at the top-right corner.
A FESCO Tax Deduction Certificate for the last financial year will appear on the screen.
Download and save the certificate for tax filing purposes.

Is the FESCO Certificate Accepted by FBR?
