The Pakistani government is gearing up to announce major tax cuts on high-value property transactions to revive the real estate market. Key highlights include:
• Tax reduction on properties worth over Rs100 million, with advance tax for filers slashed from 4% to below 1%.
• Property tax exemption for plots and homes valued up to Rs50 lac, approved by the Punjab cabinet.
• New rules to block undeclared income for property purchases exceeding Rs1 crore, requiring income declaration in tax returns.
• The government is consulting with the IMF to ensure these reforms align with fiscal objectives, targeting the 2.5% of high-value transactions often tied to undeclared money.
These changes aim to boost real estate investments and improve transparency, creating a more dynamic property market.
