Year 2022-23 Budget taxes and impact on Real Estate sector of Pakistan
Finally, Pakistan’s highly anticipated Budget taxes for the years 2022-23 is here, and as expected, there have been some major policy changes in the financial bill for 2022-23, especially in relation to the real estate sector. If you are confused about how new taxation in the budget will affect the real estate sector, I will try to explain most of them in this blog.
To understand the real impact of taxes in Budget 2022-23 on real estate, we will have to divide the real estate sector into 3 segments. The Government did the same. This was especially done to promote some segments of real estate and discourage investment in others. While some policies affect all three segments, others don’t and that’s why we need this segmentation, as it will help us understand where to invest in the coming year.
- Sector of plots and files, where there is no construction on the land.
- Construction sector like houses etc.
- Tall apartments etc.
The Government of Pakistan, in budget 2022-23 has announced three major policies regarding taxation of these segments. Don’t worry if you can’t understand them now, because I’ll explain them one by one:
- The withholding tax was revised for all three segments.
- Capital gains tax and its implication have been revised for all of the above segments.
- Real estate will be taxed on a considered rental income basis above 25 M.
Increase in withholding tax
Withholding tax is paid by the buyer of the property before they deliver the plot on their behalf. This is the only common factor that will affect all three properties similarly. In the Budget 2022-23 Government increased the withholding tax to 2% for archivists and 5% for non-declarants from 1% and 2% for archivists and non-declarants previously.
This is a significant increase, especially for non-filers. This will significantly increase the cost of transferring plots as follows:
Suppose that any property, whether it is land, house or apartment in Pakistan, has an FBR value of 1 crore, then the change in the withholding tax will be as below:
According to previous rates:
File would pay: 1 Lacquer as tax
Non-declarant would pay: 2 Lacquers in tax.
According to revised rates after July 1, 22:
Filer would pay: 2 Lacs tax
A non-declarant would pay: 5 Lacs tax.
Impact on real estate:
Generally, an increase in withholding tax means an increase in transfer costs and the real estate market views an increase in transfer costs as a negative factor for real estate.
However, in this case, I don’t see this as a major reason to impact or trigger a real estate trend. This is a one-time cost and although it will discourage short-term trading, it will be acceptable for most investors.
Capital Tax and its implications:
This is where tax policies are different for all three segments of real estate that we described at the beginning of this blog. Let’s first understand what CGT is, CGT means capital gains tax, this tax is applicable only if you have made a profit from your real estate investment.
- Plots/files: CGT will apply if you sell land 6 years ago, and are exempt after 6th year.
- 15% CGT where the holding period does not exceed 1 year.
- 12.5% CGT where the holding period exceeds 1 year but does not exceed 2 years.
- 10% CGT where the holding period exceeds 2 years but does not exceed 3 years.
- 7.5% CGT where the holding period exceeds 3 years but does not exceed 4 years.
- 5% CGT where the holding period exceeds 4 years but does not exceed 5 years.
- 2.5% CGT where the holding period exceeds 5 years but does not exceed 6 years.
- 0% CGT where the holding period exceeds 6 years.
- House / built property: CGT will apply if you sell a house 4 years ago, and are exempt after 4th year.
- 15% CGT where the holding period does not exceed 1 year.
- 10% CGT where the holding period exceeds 1 year but does not exceed 2 years.
- 7.5% CGT where the holding period exceeds 2 years but does not exceed 3 years.
- 5% CGT where the holding period exceeds 3 years but does not exceed 4 years.
- 0% CGT where the holding period exceeds 4 years.
- Apartment/hill: 15% CGT will apply for the first year and 0% tax from the 2nd year.
- 15% CGT where the holding period does not exceed 1 year.
- 7.5% CGT where the holding period exceeds 1 year but does not exceed 2 years.
- 0% CGT where the holding period exceeds 2 years.
Impact on real estate of Pakistan
As you can see clearly the focus of CGT is unproductive assets like plots and files, while the impact on the construction or building sector such as houses etc has hardly been reviewed, in addition, the apartment sector has been encouraged.
La FBR team openly stated that the reason for adopting this policy for CGT is to encourage people to invest in flats and vertical growth and therefore we can safely assume that future policies of the Government will also be in a similar direction.
Considered rental income on the unproductive property:
Now, this is a new name for wealth tax and the only real purpose for this tax is unproductive properties, such as plots and files. FBR imposed 1% Deim Tax according to the FBR value on the unused/additional property worth more than 25 M. This includes unused houses, plots of land, farmhouses, or any landed property that has a value above 25 M but does not create a regular income. The Government has estimated the income from the such property at 5% per annum, of which 20% will be taxed, which turns out to be 1% of its FBR value.
The house in which you live is exempt from this tax except that 25 M value of the property is also exempt from it. Some of the important things to keep in mind about this supposed rental tax are as follows:
- Your personal house is exempt from this tax.
- It will be levied on the collective FBR value of all your plots, for example, if you own 10 plots that have a collective FBR value of 100 M, the first 25 M will be exempt from tax and the remaining 75 M will be taxed at 1% of FBR value which amounts to 7.5 lacquers per year.
- If you have a built property, house, business, etc. that is not rented, you will have to pay the estimated rental income tax on it.
The main purpose of this tax is for the richest among us who invest in dozens of plots of land that do not produce rental income and houses that they have rented etc but do not declare their rental income.
In addition, this tax also applies if a property is rented as follows:
- If the tax under section 15 of the income tax prescription is more than the tax under this section, then no further tax will be charged.
- If the tax under section 15 of the income tax return is less than the tax under this section, then the difference in amounts shall be paid under this section.
Impact on Pakistani real estate:
The plot sector will get the most success because they do not produce any rental income and therefore will become liable. The people who have accumulated such wealth can certainly pay this amount of tax, but future investment in non-rent producing real estate will certainly be a great success.
While the smaller societies for the lower middle and middle class, can show some resilience and turn out untouched. Wealthier societies, such as DHA, and Bahria Town, where investors have invested huge amounts, will tremble. And after the big boys fall, the impact will be felt in the smaller societies as well.
The focus is to discourage investors from holding more than 25M of unproductive assets such as plots, files, houses, farmhouses and so on.
Analysis:
The current Pakistan budget for 2022-23 and its impact on real estate will be as follows:
- It is very negative for land, files, farmhouses or any other unproductive property, so I will assume that if these policies remain unchanged, we will enter a downturn in this segment.
- For buildings built on the waterfront such as houses or commercials, it is a good budget because most things are unchanged and the continuation of policy is always good.
- The apartment sector was highly motivated with exemption from CGT after the second year and in addition if rented as built-in property, considered rent income tax also does not apply as long as you pay tax according to section 15 of income tax. This is the sector that will attract the most investment under these new policies.
That is why I believe the Government wants investors to shift real estate trading and investment to apartments and high-rise buildings or to real businesses and industry.
You should also remember that the DC values are expected to be reviewed by the provincial government as well.
I warn against such a move by Govt to target unproductive assets like plots and files etc since the second half of 2021. The real target is wealthy people as investors who only hold 25 M values per FBR value in addition to their value. homes are exempt from certain taxes.
The current budget is clearly in line with the IMF and FATF plans to discourage investment in plots and files that are considered unproductive assets.
You now have three options if you want to make money in real estate.
- Move your investments to apartments/elevators.
- Invest in rental farms.
- Expect a miracle for the Government to withdraw from these policies.

Guide to Transferring Vehicle Ownership in Islamabad

One of the major reasons for this is affordability, which also means that there are more car options in a particular price range than there are for brand-new vehicles. So, whether you’ve recently gained a used vehicle in the capital city and want to transfer ownership to your name, you’ve come just to the perfect spot. In this article, we’ll go over the step-by-step processes for transferring car ownership in Islamabad.

Request that the vehicle’s seller be instructed to come to an Excise and Taxation Office in Islamabad (ETO) whenever the need arises.
If the former owner of the vehicle is also present at the Excise and Taxation Office, the vehicle ownership transfer process would be simplified.
The next step is to gain the Challan Form and T.O Form from the Islamabad court office, which is in F-8 Markaz, Islamabad. You can also ask a form seller at the court office to fill out all of the forms for you, for a fee of around PKR 100-200.
Present most of your papers to the Islamabad court office and get them attested by an appropriate official.
To make the payments against the issued fee challan, however, you must travel to the National Bank, F-8 Branch, Islamabad, which is located directly across from the Excise and Taxation Office.
Note: The fee challan can only be paid at that NBP branch or even at the State Bank of Pakistan’s Sector F-5 branch.
Get a Class 1 Government Officer to verify all of your papers.
Except for the Sale Deed and the original transfer letter, all papers should be authenticated.
When you’ve finished the attestation and verification of paperwork, ask that the automobile seller accompany you to an Islamabad Excise and Taxation Office, where you’ll submit all the completed and attested documents to the relevant official.
You will now be taken to a counter where you’ll be required to pay PKR 550 for the formal document screening. You will receive two receipts once the procedure is done.
These two receipts should be presented at a separate counter, in which a staff member will collect the whole of your papers and produce a receipt with the expected delivery date of the transferred vehicle registration book.

Property Tax in Pakistan 2020: Latest Updates and Criteria
Less than 1% of Pakistanis pay property tax. This is a bad and risky statistic for a country’s economic well-being.
Most residents in Pakistan do not pay taxes. In return, this weakens our financial and economic situation. There is not enough money for the government to pay for roads, hospitals, education and defense.
In addition, the state needs to rely on foreign sources to raise revenue due to the lack of taxation. This involves loans from other countries and large-scale banks.
Property Tax In Pakistan 2020 – Important Details
You need to have details about the size of the lot and how to know it correctly if you are measuring the tax on your home.

What is a Property Tax?
In the type of money the owner would pay, the property tax is the amount. The government is collecting the bill. The government is helping taxes. It is used in various fields, e.g. In road construction, increase in the required imports, payment of wages of people, and so on.
The word property applies not only to plots or homes but to all materials you own. Your car, farm, office building and other things on your behalf will be part of concrete help. Pakistan’s current property tax rate is 25% in 2020.
Although it costs to buy some material objects, e.g. To build your houses, raw material costs, labor costs, interiors, floors and others. Many banks in Pakistan lend a home to facilitate the construction of your home.

- Each province has its own tax department. You must call the local tax department to pay the tax.
- By creating an online asset tax, you can also pay your tax in banks.
- You can change electronically through your online banking systems.

Property Tax And The Situation In Pakistan
In the third world countries, Pakistan is flourishing and progressing if we are to see it. Now is the time for us to act. The housing tax is not the same for everyone and the more you receive, the more you pay tax. It ensures a balance between the social class of different status. The rate often varies between cities and districts. The taxes are in format and they are charged conveniently by any citizen.
Many citizens do not pay the taxes that do not build such good financial conditions. The administration would not earn adequate funds for financial compensation, health insurance, education, and defense. The government has gone to foreign outlets because of these circumstances. This implies the take-off of high-interest loans from the IMF and other nations.
Important Issues To Consider WRT Property Tax In Pakistan
- There is no distinction between plots and some buildings
- CGT was shortened to 4 years the retention time
- 100% of the capital gains taxed because it is less than one year of the retention period
- 75% of the capital gains tax if the retention period is longer than 1 year but less than 2 years
- If the retention period lasts 2 years but not 3 years, 50% of the capital gains will be taxable
- In which the retention period reaches 3 years, but not 4 years, 25% of capital gains are taxable
- No tax on CGT after four years of tenure
Types Of Property Tax In Pakistan
Capital Gains Tax
You have to give the government a certain amount of money when you buy some land. The Capital Gains Tax is charged at a rate of 2% of the recorded value, in accordance with the Finance Act 2006.
In the current budget, however, the general value-added tax on urban spaces is 2% and the stamp duty rate is 3%. Stamp duty is an amount you pay for the legal records of the property.
Capital Gains Tax
This tax is the inverse of VAT. Capital income tax is a certain amount of money that the seller needs to pay for selling his assets. The tax applies to the income of the seller.
The Pakistan Finance Act 2017 stipulates that capital duty can be imposed only if the property is sold within the first three years of the sale. In addition, annually, tax rates are adjusted.
The tax rate is 10% in the first year, 7.5% in the second year, and the tax limit is 5% in the third year. The seller does not have to pay the capital gains tax in Pakistan after three years.
Withhold Tax
Capital gains tax and capital gains tax are a combination. The buyer and the seller must share a certain price when an item is sold.
In Pakistan 2018-19, a buyer of the house, which is also an income tax, will pay a 2 percent withholding tax, while a non-advertiser will buy a 45 percent tax. The taxpayer must pay a 2 percent withholding tax.
Will you see the gap between taxpayers and non-registrants in the tax bracket? This huge increase in the tax rate is aimed at ensuring that taxes are made. Similarly, buyers of the property must pay a 1% tax for registrants and 25% for non-registrants.
Which properties are tax-saved?
Any active groups are exempt from the imposition of taxes. The following categories are addressed:
- Houses built on land less than 5 Marla, instead of the category “A” place
- Property cannot operate above the annual rent of PKR. 5211 / –
- A single house with an annual rent of no more than PKR. 6480 / – if the owner’s house is occupied
- The annual deduction of the tax debts of buildings occupied by widows, small orphans and / or the disabled is PKR 12150 / -.
- Housing up to one Canal owned and rented by a former government worker is removed from the ownership of a dwelling house
- Government buildings, such as businesses, districts or cities. buildings maintained by a government or magistrate
- Mosques and other monasteries.
- Urban parks and children’s fields, schools, boards, homes, inns, bookstores and hospitals, buildings and real estate.
- Places rented only to public charities, religious or prescribed.
Summarizing it
Regardless of what property you own, one must stand as a responsible person. The conscientious citizen keeps his tax data accurate. The company economy is set up by this action. When we look at the land, people in various private businesses like to buy land and houses.
The values of the property are growing steadily as it is the perfect opportunity to buy. Today’s investment is tomorrow’s investment. Contact Globe Estate & Builders for more information on property news.

Everything You Need To Know About Real Estate Investment In Pakistan
We often hear that real estate investing has a bright future in Pakistan – but sometimes it can cost you a huge fortune in the form of scams and frauds.
We know that in Pakistan real estate and real estate are spreading through many regions. Although each area is distinguished by its investment offerings and options, Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad are the three main cities in the country for real estate.
This article has all the important details about real estate in Pakistan, the investment benefits and factors related to real estate.
What You Need To Consider Before Making A Real Estate Investment In Pakistan
The following things should be considered:
Real Estate Investment Information
Sufficient real estate education is essential for real estate investors. The income from real estate investing needs to be well understood to you. Take a long time to get to understand every aspect of the property. In Pakistan, it is a growing industry and has a fast pace.
The design of a property must be high quality and smooth. It is important to have a realistic awareness of all the current developments in the real estate market in order to keep this unpredictable rate and become a profitable investor.
You can read about real estate for free from too many newspapers. Some mass media are most frequent:
- Newspapers
- Real estate YouTube channels
- Real estate books
- Real estate podcasts
- Real estate blogs
- Real estate television programs
Both of these resources are easily accessible and convenient. Take advantage of them and try to learn from them as best you can.
Follow Strategy
It’s no joke if we conclude that real estate is definitely possible for a lifetime cash flow. You just need a workable approach.
Spend some time planning an integrated plan for your investment in the property before you spend your hard earned money.
Would you like to invest in all kinds of assets or just stay in a niche, for example? Do you want to spend as an exclusive owner or do you want to participate? Would you like to develop your investments locally or would you like to grow your investment in other cities?
Such financial decisions will make or break your investment in your home. You will receive a decent income within a limited period of time if you have a good plan in place.
Select Redeem Properties
The fate of the draw is not to get the best property. For the perfect property, you need to be diligent and polite. Before buying real estate, ask about the land, rates in the area, country styles such as whether to buy in the apartment, house or store, details of facilities and the area.
Above all, make sure that it is accepted by the municipal planning authorities. Check the property carefully to make sure all property papers are accurate and complete, keeping your eyes open for any defects.
Buy Your Property
Once the preliminary research has been completed and your real estate investment options in Pakistan have been limited, it is time to buy your house. Consider all legal aspects and advise reviewing the accompanying transition and sales articles.
Furthermore, remember your plot or home location and construction level. These variables significantly influence how fast property prices rise. Often buy property authorized by the relevant government authority so that in some legal matters you do not miss out on investments.
Things to Consider For A Better Return On Real Estate Investment
Here are some moves you can make to achieve the highest investment speed and return:
Don’t rely on one resource
Don’t rely on just agents or insecure portals to create your buying or selling cost. Browse Zameen.com’s listings for the region of the property to see the latest trend in prices. Also, contact some agents to get the trading pressure and see what prices they offer.
Make sure your property is worth it
It takes some pretext to make this move. Contact one or two agents from the buyer’s point of view and ask for the cost for your preferred home. Call one or two additional agents from the seller’s point of view or ask about pricing. The fair market value is among the listed prices, as the purchase prices are usually higher than the sellers.
Go to the previous stages for token capital
If a contract has been terminated, the buyer collects symbolic money. This is the customer’s promise that the property is purchased and binds all parties to the contract. Sign money is usually a very small percentage of the total value of the land, preferably between 50,000 PKR and 100,000 PKR.
The receipt of a sign includes the full details of the property and shows whether a conflict occurs.
Less Volatile
Real estate portfolios do not face sudden changes such as the trading of stocks and bonds. Real estate is also very stable and rates are smoothly priced. This means that failure is less possible internally.
If you want to build your capital smoothly in a risky person, the investment in real estate is right for you.
Try to meet the other party face to face
If you are a buyer or seller, it will help facilitate the process by seeing each other face to face. You will also reliably confirm the ownership status and legal status of the property in this way.
If you are buying a home, make sure the assignment or transfer letter is reviewed by the owner’s NIC.
Double benefits
You may receive many benefits from a house or apartment. You can rent/lease your place, put your room on Airbnb, use it for your own home, and as the cost of the property grows, you can sell it. How incredible is it?
If you are looking for a great investment option in Pakistan, real estate is the ideal alternative for you.
Better Returns
Real estate offers you a reliably strong income. You can earn a monthly return of up to 20% on average. For example, you can sell it for RS.560.000 next month if you buy a property for RS.500.000 without doing anything as well. Staying at home, you get an additional Rs.60,000.
Tax Benefits
Investors usually earn property tax exemptions. You will, for example, get mortgage interest deductions. This is generally done by politicians to promote additional spending.
Possession
holding house representing home ownership
The complete ownership of the asset is one of the most significant and desirable factors inland. You will be wholly owned and no one will take your property from you when you buy a house, and you have all the legal rights to it.
You do not have perceptible assets and ownership of other types of investments such as bonds, mutual funds, and vice versa. That said, immobilization helps you rule your land.

TRC Refines Valuation System for Immovable Properties
ISLAMABAD:
The Tax Reform Commission, led by state revenue minister Hammad Azhar, on Monday, decided to refine the system for valuing real estate, speeding up a process of tracking and tracing in the tobacco sector.
This would also include recommended procedures for taxing small entities involved in the retail trade, reports the Business Registrar.
The meeting discussed the topic of real estate appraisal and informed the participants that using appraisal tables was a tentative proposal and was not a long-term measure to appraise such real estate.
Moreover, from a review appraisal each time, a constant solution for the appraisal of real estate was proposed during the meeting.
The issue of a link between bank accounts and national tax numbers (NTN) for broadening the tax base was also discussed during the meeting.
Therefore, it was agreed to investigate the likelihood of effectively using the data of the National Database and Government Authority (Nadra) to bring potential people into the tax network.
The meeting also accepted the recommendation of the Implementation Committee on Tax Reforms (TRIC) to draft a simplified return form for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
According to officials of the Federal Revenue Board (FBR), the holding in the pursuit of a track record in the tobacco industry has contributed to a massive revenue loss of 40-50 billion a year.

Investment In Commercial Property In Pakistan
Commercial real estate in Pakistan has different characteristics that distinguish it from a dwelling house.
It is not a simple job to invest in commercial real estate. Before investing, there are also things to look at. Business investment in Pakistan includes the choice of the site, the number of feet, how many people visit the region per day, price, price for money, and so on.
It is just as difficult to find the right property for your company, whether it is rented or purchased. Property is another aspect that needs to be targeted in the form of the company so that the investment is not lost.
That is why there are some outstanding advantages and handy tips for investing in commercial real estate in Pakistan.
Equality
By building equity in your real estate business, you will use it to further expand your business without jeopardizing your business. This helps you deal with the development of your company more flexibly.
It also gives more options when the retirement period arrives. As a company owner, you can either directly sell the practice and underlying property during the retirement period, or just sell the practice and rent a commercial property that provides a source of income.
Good Thanksgiving
Investments such as stocks do not allow for anything more than buying and selling, however, provided requirements are met and necessary permits from a local authority are secured, commercial homeowners can invest in their real estate.
A commercial property owner in Pakistan can upgrade, restructure the property outside or inside, increase rents or even modify its zoning. Inflation will bring value to current features as well. While new developments may cost more than building older properties, existing sites and the more recent local construction are still growing in value.
Tax Benefits And Maximum Returns
It can be a dynamic place to invest. Unfortunately, it is not only black and white as a profit generation. Taxes and other external conditions can also affect business activities. These elements can be used to your advantage when working with real estate.
The value could rise in terms of market valuation and financial value for you, but over the years the building itself would certainly decline. The direct decline indicates that the physical value of property decreases over 27.6 years. Meanwhile, after more than a decade, other features will fall apart. This loss will offset a market value gain that actually contributes to a better outcome.
A competent accountant would require these considerations. However, in most markets, such resources are not open. Here is another explanation for preferring industrial ownership over other solutions.
Cash Flow Perspectives
You must pay the premium for an additional cash flow of rental income if you own a commercial property with room for tenants. Tenants are willing to use their money to pay for the purchase of their land, offsetting the expense of saving.
It is important to note, however, that tenants include responsibility for property maintenance, which will diminish the presence of the main commercial properties.
Practical Tips For Investing In Commercial Real Estate In Pakistan
- One must understand the state of the market, including tariffs and the value of land, so as not to deceive man. It is extremely important to keep yourself up to date. In relation to residential and commercial property, there is a great distinction, so the characteristics of both forms must be understood.
- You need to prepare yourself so that you know when, why and how to invest in company property because there is only one factor you need to consider when investing.
- You need to remember whether the position would offer you capital growth or not, and whether the site has construction potential or not.
- The land has or does not have the most important lease option. If you do not want to use the feature yourself, you must rent it.
- The land should also include important amenities such as parking lots and electrical supplies.

Action Against Real Estate Tax Escaper [2018]
Booming real estate sector contributes just Rs23 billion in taxes
Islamabad: The rate served by Pakistan Profitability in the real estate sector, is mainly the free taxes, is only at Rs23 billion below 0.1% of the extent of national economy in the previous fiscal year. To deal with such competitive situations created by a sick taxpayer and a system of deprived taxes, Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) decides to contact the chairman of the Federal Revenue Board (FBR) of the private division.
Tax collection under Amnesty Scheme
Real Estate Sector, where huge black capital is positioned, 23 billion rupees was paid in the past fiscal year 2017-18. This involved a tax collected according to an amnesty plan for the district declared before the end of the Pakistan Islamic League government. A number of famous profiles of Pakistan are trading in real estate, perhaps it is one of the main causes of the failure of tax policies.
The remarkable tax served by the real estate market highlighted the obstacles that PTI management will manage to bring the sector below the tax range. Asad Umar PTI Finance Minister opined that FBR chairman of the private sector to face such barriers, reveals well-informed sources about the government.
