Even if your company deducts income tax at source, you may still need to file a tax return if your total income exceeds the taxable threshold set by FBR.
Filing a return ensures that any additional income or deductions are properly accounted for.
It helps you claim refunds if excess tax has been deducted by your employer.
All sources of income, like freelance or investment income, must be included in your return.
Submitting your tax return keeps you compliant and avoids penalties for underreporting.
