Download Your Jazz Tax Certificate on Simosa in Pakistan for the 31 October FBR Return
Download your Jazz tax certificate in the Simosa app: tap Tax Certificate, pick the year, enter the PIN. It shows the 15% advance tax for your FBR return.
You can download your Jazz tax certificate in the Simosa app, with no charge listed by Jazz: tap "Tax Certificate" on the main menu, pick the year, enter the 4 digit PIN sent to your number, and the certificate is ready. It shows the 15% advance tax taken on your recharges or bills, which you enter in your FBR return. The return deadline for tax year 2026 is 31 October 2026.
Every time you recharge a Jazz number, part of the money goes to FBR as advance income tax. Most people never see that figure again. But if you file a return, that tax is already paid on your behalf, and leaving it out means you count it against nothing. We read Jazz's tax certificate page and FBR's withholding tax rate card on 20 October 2026, along with FBR's circular moving the filing date.
Jazz's tax certificate shows the tax taken on your number
Jazz's page calls it a tax certificate "for filer verification". It is a statement, for the tax year you choose, of the advance income tax Jazz collected from your number. You need it to fill the tax already paid on mobile use in your return.
FBR's withholding tax rate card under the Finance Act, 2026 lists this tax under section 236 of the Income Tax Ordinance. For internet, mobile phone and prepaid card users, the rate is 15% of the bill or the price of the card or load. Jazz's own terms on its offer pages repeat it: advance income tax of 15% on each recharge.
| Who | FBR rate under section 236 | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile phone users, prepaid or postpaid | 15% | The bill, or the price of the card or load |
| Internet users and prepaid internet cards | 15% | The bill or card price |
| Landline users, bill above Rs 1,000 | 10% | The part of the bill above Rs 1,000 |
How to download the Jazz tax certificate in Simosa
Simosa is Jazz's self-care app, which Jazz links for both Android and iPhone. Jazz's page gives four steps. You need the Jazz number in your phone, because the app sends a PIN to it.
- Open the Simosa app and sign in with your Jazz number.
- Tap "Tax Certificate" on the main menu.
- Select the year you need. For the return being filed now, that is tax year 2026, which ran from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.
- Enter the 4 digit PIN sent to your number to verify it.
- Download the certificate and save it with your other tax papers.
If you use more than one Jazz number, repeat this for each one. The certificate covers the number that received the PIN, not every SIM on your CNIC.
Where the figure goes in your FBR return
When we read FBR's paper return form last month for our walk-through of the return, it had separate adjustable tax lines for mobile bills and prepaid cards under section 236. Adjustable means the amount counts against your final tax for the year. Put the figure from the certificate on that line in IRIS.
The full list of lines, and what else counts as tax already paid, is in the guide to filling your FBR tax return and wealth statement. A tax adviser can tell you whether the amount reduces what you owe in your own case. We cannot.
The tax year 2026 return is due by 31 October 2026
FBR's Circular No. 04 of 2026-27, dated 15 October 2026, extends the date for filing income tax returns for tax year 2026 to 31 October 2026. It applies to people whose return was due by 30 September 2026 and had already been extended to 15 October.
Download the certificate now rather than on the last evening, when apps and IRIS are both slow. The background to the extension is in FBR's move to 31 October.
What a year of recharges adds up to
The amounts are small each time, which is why people ignore them. At 15%, Rs 1,000 of recharges a month, or Rs 12,000 a year, carries about Rs 1,800 of advance tax. That is our arithmetic from FBR's rate. Your certificate shows the real figure, which depends on how the operator applied the tax.
A family often keeps several numbers on one parent's CNIC. Four numbers at the same Rs 1,000 a month would carry about Rs 7,200 between them in a year. The certificate is issued per number, so download one for each.
Zong and Ufone users need a different route
This page covers Jazz only. Ufone has its own process, set out in the guide to the Ufone tax certificate. We searched Zong's website on 20 October 2026 and found no tax certificate page, so we cannot give Zong's steps from its own site. Ask Zong on 310 or in the My Zong app.
Common questions

Tax year 2026, which covers 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.
Do I need a separate certificate for each Jazz number?
Yes. The PIN goes to one number, and the certificate covers that number.

Yes. FBR's Circular No. 04 of 2026-27 extended it to 31 October 2026 for tax year 2026.
How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 20 October 2026. The download steps come from Jazz's tax certificate page. The 15% and 10% rates come from FBR's withholding tax rate card for the Finance Act, 2026, read from FBR's downloadable sheet. The deadline comes from FBR Circular No. 04 of 2026-27, read from the scanned PDF on FBR's site. The adjustable tax lines were read from FBR's paper return form on 26 September 2026 for our return walk-through. The yearly example is our arithmetic. We did not download a certificate ourselves, so we could not see its layout, and we could not confirm how FBR treats tax on a number used by someone other than the CNIC holder.
