In the federal budget for the fiscal year 2024-25, Pakistan's federal government has increased the income tax rate for individuals earning Rs600,000 or more annually.
People earning Rs50,000 per month will be exempt from income tax, as the government has introduced various tax brackets, with rates reaching up to 45%. Specifically, individuals with a Rs50,000 monthly salary will not be subject to income tax.
Those with annual earnings between Rs600,000 and Rs1.2 million will now face a 5% income tax rate. Previously, they were paying Rs1,250, but this amount has been raised to Rs2,500.
