Latest update of FBR raises property prices in 56 cities in Pakistan 2024

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) recently announced that property values in 56 cities in Pakistan have changed. After November 1, 2024, these new rates will be applied to make property rates more in line with the worth on the market. It will be easy for the government to receive real taxes on sales and purchases of property after this change. 

The FBR has increased property values five times since 2018. We can see changes in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022, but no changes in the previous two years. This change affects to everyone who buys, sells, or invests in real estate. 

Key Points of the New FBR Property Values 

• Up to 75% Increase: In some cities, property values are now set at 75% of market rates. 
• Different Types of Properties: The new values include separate rates for residential (homes), commercial (businesses), and industrial (factories) properties. 
• Industry Input: FBR worked closely with builders and developers to understand their views and make the right changes. 
• Legal Approval: These values were also reviewed by the Law and Justice Division to ensure they follow the law. 

What is the latest news about the gain tax on property in Pakistan? 

The FBR’s goal with these changes in property rates is to make the property market more clear. By setting property values closer to real market prices, it becomes harder to under-report property prices, which can help the government collect taxes more fairly. For buyers, sellers, and investors, these new values might impact the costs and taxes related to property transactions.
