FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is income tax calculated on salary in Pakistan for 2026-27?
Pakistan uses progressive taxation. The first PKR 600,000 of annual salary is tax-free. Above that, income is taxed slab-by-slab: 1% on 600k–1.2M, 11% on 1.2M–2.2M, 20% on 2.2M–3.2M, 25% on 3.2M–4.1M, 29% on 4.1M–5.6M, 32% on 5.6M–7M, and 35% above 7M. The Finance Act 2026 abolished the 9% surcharge that previously applied to salaried income above PKR 10 million.
What is the tax-free salary limit in Pakistan?
For tax year 2026-27, the tax-free limit for salaried individuals is PKR 600,000 per year (PKR 50,000 per month). This threshold has remained unchanged from previous years.
How much tax do I pay on PKR 100,000 monthly salary?
On a monthly salary of PKR 100,000 (annual PKR 1,200,000) for FY 2026-27, your annual income tax is PKR 6,000, which is approximately PKR 500 per month. This is a major reduction from FY 2024-25 when the same salary attracted PKR 30,000 annually.
What is the difference between salaried and AOP tax rates?
Salaried individuals (where salary is more than 75% of total income) get preferential rates starting at 1% above PKR 600k. AOP (Association of Persons) and non-salaried individuals face significantly higher rates starting at 15% above PKR 600k, rising to 45% above PKR 5.6 million.
How are freelancers taxed in Pakistan?
Freelancers exporting IT/IT-enabled services pay a final tax of 1% on export income (Section 154A), reduced to 0.25% if registered with PSEB (Pakistan Software Export Board) via TechDestination. Income from local clients is taxed under standard slabs after deducting business expenses.
Is there a surcharge on high salaried income in Pakistan?
No longer for salaried individuals. The Finance Act 2026 abolished the 9% surcharge that previously applied to salaried taxable income above PKR 10 million (it was 9% under the Finance Act 2025 and 10% in 2024-25). Non-salaried individuals and AOPs still pay a 10% surcharge on calculated tax above the same threshold.
When do I need to file my tax return in Pakistan?
The annual deadline for filing income tax returns in Pakistan is September 30 each year (for the tax year ending June 30). Filing your return is mandatory if your annual income exceeds PKR 600,000 and ensures you stay on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL), which gives you reduced withholding tax rates.
