Tax year 2026-27 opens as provisional

Finance Act 2026 had not been notified by FBR as of this date. All tax-year-2026-27 rate sets on this site are carried forward unchanged from Finance Act 2025 and marked provisional. They will be updated the moment the new Finance Act is published — this changelog will get a new entry when that happens, it will not silently overwrite this one.

Immovable property now qualifies for full CGT exemption after 4 years of holding, down from the previous 7-year threshold. The rate schedule for years 1–4 was also adjusted so the decline reaches zero by year 4 instead of year 7.
