Pakistan’s revenue collection for the current month is projected to remain around Rs900 billion, falling short of the Rs950 billion target, as floods and heavy rains disrupt economic activity, according to officials at the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
Sources said extreme weather has slowed business operations in multiple sectors, including real estate, while customs officials have reported a decline in goods declarations. A detailed assessment of flood-related losses is expected to provide a clearer estimate of the shortfall.
Despite the current challenges, tax receipts for July 2025 surpassed expectations, with Rs754 billion collected against a target of Rs748 billion. For September, the FBR has set an ambitious goal of Rs1.3 trillion, while the annual collection target for FY2025 stands at Rs14.13 trillion.
Officials noted that a revival in construction activity in the coming weeks could help partially offset the losses and support stronger inflows in subsequent months.
