FBR Salaried Slabs Guide
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) designs progressive slabs for income tax in Pakistan. To reduce the tax burden on middle-class salaried professionals, tax brackets have been restructured over consecutive budgets. In the recent Fiscal Years, the government reduced rates for brackets up to 2.2M annual taxable income.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is considered a salaried individual by FBR?
According to the Income Tax Ordinance in Pakistan, you are considered a salaried individual if your salary income constitutes more than 75% of your total taxable income. If it is 75% or less, you will be taxed under the non-salaried/business slabs, which carry higher tax rates.
What is the deadline for filing salary tax returns in Pakistan?
The standard deadline for filing annual income tax returns for salaried individuals in Pakistan is September 30th of each calendar year. The FBR may occasionally extend this date under administrative circulars.
What is the difference between active and inactive taxpayers (ATL)?
Filer status is maintained in FBR's Active Taxpayers List (ATL). Active filers enjoy significantly lower withholding tax rates on bank withdrawals, vehicle registrations, property transactions, and dividend payouts compared to non-filers.
Are allowances like house rent and medical allowance taxable in Pakistan?
Under current FBR laws, basic salary along with various allowances (such as utility, house rent, and special allowances) are generally consolidated into the gross taxable salary. Medical allowance up to 10% of basic salary is exempt if medical facility is not provided by the employer.
Salaried filers can claim deductions or tax rebates against investments in approved mutual funds, voluntary pension schemes, house building markup, or charity donations to NPOs registered under Section 61.
