Property Tax & Stamp Duty Calculator

Taxes and fees when transferring property in Pakistan

When a property changes hands in Pakistan, several taxes and fees apply on its value. The main ones are the provincial stamp duty and TMA/registration fee paid by the buyer, plus federal withholding taxes collected by the FBR — section 236K from the purchaser and section 236C from the seller. A capital gains tax may also apply to the seller depending on the holding period.

Most duties are calculated on the higher of the actual price or the government’s notified value (the DC rate / FBR value) for that location. This calculator lets you enter the value and split it across multiple buyers and sellers to estimate each party’s dues.

Filer vs non-filer rates

Pakistan charges higher withholding-tax rates to people who are not on the FBR’s Active Taxpayer List. A “filer” pays the standard rate, while a “late filer” and especially a “non-filer” pay significantly more on the same transaction. Setting the correct status for each buyer and seller above gives a realistic estimate — and filing your return before a deal can save a large amount.
