Receiving a notice from the FBR doesn't automatically mean you're in trouble. Many notices are routine requests for information or reminders to file. What matters most is responding on time and with proper documentation.
Common Types of Notices
- Section 114: notice to file a return of income
- Section 116: notice to file a wealth statement
- Section 122: amendment of assessment
- Section 176: requisition of information or records
- Section 177: selection for audit
