Revenue collection for the current month is expected to remain limited to Rs900 billion, falling short of the Rs950 billion target, due to the adverse impact of recent floods and heavy rainfall, sources in the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) confirmed.
According to the FBR sources, concerns have emerged over the negative effects of extreme weather on tax receipts. The assessment report on flood-related losses will provide a clearer picture of the actual revenue shortfall.
The ongoing flood situation has disrupted business activity across several sectors, including real estate, FBR sources said. Customs officials have also seen a decline in goods declarations in recent days.
Despite these setbacks, tax collection for July 2025 exceeded expectations, with Rs754 billion collected against a target of Rs748 billion. The revenue target for August stands at Rs950 billion, while the September goal has been set at Rs1.3 trillion, sources added.
Authorities expressed cautious optimism that construction activity may resume in the coming days, which could support a rise in tax receipts. For the current fiscal year, the overall tax collection target has been fixed at Rs14,131 billion, officials stated.
