FBR AI system to prioritise corporate, non-salary returns
From 1 September 2026, Inland Revenue officers may start fresh income-tax assessment cases only when the Compliance Risk Management system selects and assigns them.
FBR’s new AI-backed CRM system will first focus audit selection on corporate and non-salary returns.
Sources say the FBR is not targeting the salaried class under the new AI system.
From 1 September 2026, field officers cannot open new assessment amendments unless CRM selects the case.
Cases already under way by 31 August 2026 may finish under the old framework; fresh notices after that date need CRM selection.
Exemptions from CRM selection need written approval from the Member (Inland Revenue – Operations).
