Questions about salary tax
- What is the income tax threshold in Pakistan for FY 2025-26?
- Income up to Rs. 600,000 a year is not taxed, for both salaried and non-salaried individuals. Filing a return is still worthwhile because it puts you on the Active Taxpayers List.
- How are salaried and non-salaried rates different?
- For FY 2025-26, salaried income above Rs. 600,000 starts at 1%, while business, freelance and rental income starts at 15%. Salaried rates apply only when salary is more than 75% of your taxable income.
- How is tax deducted from my monthly salary?
- Your employer estimates your tax for the whole year and deducts roughly one twelfth each month. If your salary changes during the year, the monthly deduction is recalculated for the remaining months.
- Is there extra tax on income above Rs. 10 million?
- Yes. For FY 2025-26 a surcharge is added on top of your income tax: 9% of the tax for salaried individuals and 10% for others, when taxable income is above Rs. 10 million. From FY 2026-27 the surcharge no longer applies to salaried individuals.
- Can teachers still claim the 25% tax rebate?
- No. The 25% reduction for full-time teachers and researchers ended after Tax Year 2025, so it does not apply to FY 2025-26.
- What is the difference between effective and marginal tax rate?
- Your marginal rate is the rate on the last rupee you earn. Your effective rate is your total tax divided by your total income. It is always lower, because the lower parts of your income are taxed at lower rates.
