Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about TaxAible

This FAQ addresses common questions about how TaxAible works, who it's for, and how it helps you file your FBR tax return.

What is TaxAible?

TaxAible is an AI-powered assistant designed to simplify the tax preparation and filing process in Pakistan. It uses advanced proprietary AI to interpret user inputs, parse documents, and automate form-filling on the FBR IRIS portal.

Is TaxAible affiliated with the FBR?

No. TaxAible is an independent private platform. It is designed to help taxpayers comply with FBR regulations more easily, but it is not an official government tool.

How accurate are the calculations?

Our engine is updated with the latest Finance Act regulations and FBR tax slabs. While our calculations are mathematically precise based on the data provided, we recommend reviewing the final summary on the "Review" page before submission.

Security & Privacy

Is my data secure?

Yes. We prioritize user privacy. We use industry-standard encryption for all data transmissions. Personal financial data is processed within secure sessions, and we do not store sensitive records permanently on our servers.

Are my IRIS credentials safe?

If you choose to use the IRIS Connector, your credentials are encrypted locally using industry-standard cryptographic methods. They are never transmitted to our servers in plain text.

Using the Features

Can I speak in Urdu to the Voice Assistant?

Yes. You can speak naturally in Urdu (e.g., "Mera salary pachaas lakh hai"). Our AI translates the intent into the context required for the tax engine to process your request.

What documents can I upload?

You can upload salary slips, bank statements, and tax certificates in common formats like PDF or image files. Our parsing engine will extract relevant figures like gross salary, tax withheld, and profits.

What is the Audit Shield Score?

It is a risk metric (0-100%) that indicates the probability of your return being selected for an FBR audit. A higher score means your return follows standard patterns and has fewer "red flags."

How does the Auto-Reconciler work?

It automatically calculates the difference between your declared income, expenses, and asset changes. If your wealth statement doesn't balance, it suggests adjustments to specific categories to help you achieve a zero "unreconciled amount."

Filing with IRIS

How do I sync my data to the FBR?

We provide a dedicated browser extension called the IRIS Connector. Once your return is finalized on TaxAible, you can use the extension to automatically populate the forms on the official FBR IRIS portal.

What if the IRIS website changes?

We regularly update the IRIS Connector to ensure compatibility with the latest version of the FBR portal. If you encounter issues, please ensure you have the latest version of the extension installed.

Can I still edit my return after it is synced?

Yes. The IRIS Connector fills out the draft for you. You can still manually review and edit any field on the FBR website before clicking the final "Submit" button.
