Tax audits can be stressful and time-consuming, especially for businesses and individuals unfamiliar with the process. At ASCO Tax Consultants, we provide expert Tax Audit Support services to help our clients effectively manage and respond to tax audits conducted by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) or other tax authorities in Pakistan.
What is a Tax Audit?
A tax audit is an official review of an individual’s or business’s financial records by tax authorities to ensure accurate reporting of income, deductions, and tax payments. Audits may be conducted randomly, due to discrepancies in tax returns, or based on specific risk assessments by the authorities.
Common Reasons for Tax Audits
Tax authorities may conduct audits due to:
- Discrepancies between declared income and actual transactions
- Late or incomplete tax filings
- Unusual deductions or expenses
- Random selection by the FBR
- Reporting errors or inconsistencies
