Dear friends congratulation. Finaly a fair workable out come on taxes. Basicly no major changes from last year. Market will insha Allah recover now and trading should start with normal pace like before July 1st 2016
FBR to set market prices once a year and capital gain tax to recieved on market rates for 3 years at these rates. Aftrer 3 years ZERO tax on profits on property sales. FBR market rates will be about 200% to 300% higher than current DC rates.
Capital gain tax will be 10% for first (Same as last year no change here)
Capital gain tax will be 7.5% for second year ( Was 5% last year so increase 2.5%)
Capital gain tax will be 5% for third year ( Was 0% last year so increase of 5% )
Property purchased before July 1st 2016 will have a flat 5% capital gains tax sold any times within 3 years . Even if sold today only 5%.
0.4% Withholding tax will be charged for over 40 lacs values only ( Was charged at 30 lacs last so good news here now amount 10 lacs higher). Lower priced plots will be seeing more demand due to this change. Lower priced properties will gain strong in future.
There is no withholding or capital gain tax on any property below 40 lakhs worth so files like Lake City Lahore 5 or 7 maarla will gains strongest. Insha Allah
