People buying or selling property in Pakistan will pay revised advance taxes following the implementation of the Finance Act 2026-27<\/strong>, which took effect on July 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The new rates apply under Sections 236C<\/strong> and 236K<\/strong> of the Income Tax Ordinance and are based on a property’s official DC valuation<\/strong>. Filers will continue to pay lower taxes than non-filers.<\/p>\n

For a property with a DC value of Rs5 million<\/strong>, a seller who is an active filer<\/strong> will pay 2.75% advance tax<\/strong>, which comes to Rs137,500<\/strong>. A non-filer<\/strong> selling the same property will pay 5.5%<\/strong>, or Rs275,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the buyer’s side, the advance tax under Section 236K<\/strong> has been set at 1.25% for filers<\/strong>, equal to Rs62,500<\/strong> on a Rs5 million property. Buyers who are not on the Active Taxpayers List will pay 2.5%<\/strong>, bringing their tax to Rs125,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Besides advance tax, buyers also need to pay other official charges, including stamp duty, registration fees, mutation charges, biometric verification and service fees<\/strong>. The total cost may vary from one district to another, depending on local rules and the property’s official valuation.<\/p>\n
