FBR Appeals & Tax Litigation
An adverse assessment is not the end — we challenge it through the proper appeal forums, on time and on the evidence.
If the FBR raises a demand you believe is wrong — after an audit, a best-judgement assessment or an amended assessment — the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 gives you a structured right of appeal. But each stage has a strict time limit, and a late or poorly framed appeal can be rejected before the merits are even heard.
We represent taxpayers at every stage: replying to the original notice, appealing to the Commissioner (Appeals), the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue, and on questions of law to the High Court. The two themes that win these matters are timeliness and evidence — and we build both from day one.

Common questions.
How long do I have to appeal an FBR order?
Appeals must be filed within a limited period from the date the order is served. Missing the window can forfeit your right to appeal, so act promptly.
Where does a tax appeal go first?
The first appeal generally lies with the Commissioner (Appeals), then the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue, and on questions of law to the High Court.
Can a demand be challenged after assessment?
Yes. Even after a demand is raised there are formal appeal routes with strict timelines, which is why early professional representation matters.
