Property transaction tax rates for FY 2026–27
The Finance Act 2026 replaced the base advance-tax rates on immovable-property transactions. The FBR withholding tax rate card updated through 30 June 2026 lists the following ATL and non-ATL rates.
| Provision | Property value | ATL rate | Non-ATL rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 236K — Purchase | Up to PKR 50 million | 1.25% | 10.50% |
| 236K — Purchase | Above PKR 50 million up to PKR 100 million | 1.25% | 14.50% |
| 236K — Purchase | Above PKR 100 million | 1.25% | 18.50% |
| 236C — Sale | All value bands | 2.75% | 11.50% |
Taxes generally considered by a property buyer
Section 236K advance tax
Section 236K is collected when immovable property is purchased or transferred to a buyer. For an ATL buyer, the FY 2026–27 rate is 1.25% of the fair market value applicable under the section. Specific higher rates apply when the buyer is not on the ATL.
Provincial transfer charges
Stamp duty, registration charges, capital-value charges and local-authority fees are governed separately. They can vary by province, city, property type, valuation basis and exemption. Treat provincial amounts shown by the calculator as editable estimates and confirm them with the relevant Sub-Registrar or revenue authority.
Taxes generally considered by a property seller
Section 236C advance tax
Section 236C is collected from the seller on the gross amount of consideration received. The FY 2026–27 rate card lists 2.75% for ATL sellers and 11.50% for non-ATL sellers.
Capital gains tax
CGT is based on the taxable gain, not automatically on the complete sale price. Acquisition date, recognised acquisition cost, qualifying costs, property category, exemptions and the applicable rate can change the result.
Annual property tax and Section 7E
Urban Immovable Property Tax is administered under provincial law. Its calculation may depend on assessed annual rental value, location, property use, area, occupancy, exemptions and provincial valuation tables.
Section 7E is not added for FY 2026–27 because the Finance Act 2026 omitted Section 7E from the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

Basic federal calculation examples
ATL buyer
Applicable property value: PKR 20 million.
20,000,000 × 1.25% = PKR 250,000This covers Section 236K only.
ATL seller
Gross consideration: PKR 20 million.
20,000,000 × 2.75% = PKR 550,000This is Section 236C, not the final CGT calculation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Section 236K rate for an ATL buyer?
The FY 2026–27 base rate for an ATL buyer is 1.25% of the fair market value applicable under Section 236K.
What is the Section 236C rate for an ATL seller?
The FY 2026–27 ATL rate is 2.75% of the gross amount of consideration received.
Are non-ATL rates simply double the ATL rates?
No. FBR lists specific non-ATL rates: 10.5%, 14.5% or 18.5% under Section 236K depending on value, and 11.5% under Section 236C.
Is Section 236C the same as capital gains tax?
No. Section 236C is an advance collection at transfer. CGT is determined separately under the applicable capital-gains rules.
Does Section 7E apply in FY 2026–27?
The Finance Act 2026 omitted Section 7E, so this calculator does not add a Section 7E amount for FY 2026–27.
Are stamp duty rates the same throughout Pakistan?
No. Provincial charges vary by jurisdiction, property category, location, valuation basis and available exemptions.
