In short

Pakistan charges advance tax on property transactions under Section 236C (seller) and 236K (buyer) of the Income Tax Ordinance, at rates that depend on the property's value band and whether the person is an active tax filer, late filer or non-filer. Both are adjustable against annual tax.

Who this is for: Buyers and sellers of property in Pakistan estimating advance tax under Sections 236C and 236K.

Not tax or legal advice. Rates and value bands shown are an illustrative structure and have NOT been verified against the current Finance Act. Do not rely on this figure for an actual property transaction — confirm current rates with FBR (fbr.gov.pk) or a qualified tax consultant.

What Section 236C and 236K cover

Section 236C is advance tax collected from the seller at the time of registering/transferring immovable property. Section 236K is advance tax collected from the buyer at the time of purchase/transfer. Both are advance/withholding taxes — adjustable against your final tax liability when you file your annual return.

Rates depend on your status on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL):

  • Active filer: the lowest rate.
  • Late filer: a higher rate, for filers who appear on the ATL after the deadline for a given tax year.
  • Non-filer: the highest rate, sometimes significantly so.

Rates are also value-banded — the applicable rate depends on which value band the property's FBR-notified (or DC) value falls into.

Assumptions

  • A single rate for the value band applies to the whole value (not progressive slabs).
  • Rates depend on the filer status you select; bands and rates are illustrative and marked unverified.
  • Overseas-Pakistani relief and provincial stamp duty are not modelled.

Worked example

Seller, PKR 60,000,000 property, active filer

Value falls in the PKR 50M-100M band → rate 3.5% (filer, illustrative)
Tax = 60,000,000 × 3.5% = PKR 2,100,000

Frequently asked questions

Is this tax refundable?

236C/236K are advance/withholding taxes, adjustable against your final annual income tax liability — they are not necessarily a final, non-adjustable tax (unlike some other withholding taxes). Confirm treatment with a tax consultant.

What value should I use — market value or FBR value?

The tax is calculated on the higher of the FBR-notified value (or DC/district value where an FBR value hasn't been notified) and the declared transaction value in many cases. Confirm which value applies to your specific property/area with FBR or a tax consultant.

Do overseas Pakistanis get any relief?

Some overseas Pakistanis (holding a POC/NICOP and filing returns) may qualify for reduced rates or exemptions under specific FBR notifications — this calculator does not model those; check current rules if this applies to you.

What is the difference between filer and non-filer rates?

Non-filers pay a much higher advance tax at the time of transaction; becoming an active filer before the transfer date reduces it.

Is 236C tax refundable?

It is adjustable against your final tax liability for the year, so a filer with little other tax can claim it back through the return.
