Salary Guides
Pakistan's Finance Act 2026 restructured personal income tax into 8 progressive slabs from 0% to 35%, with a tax-free threshold of PKR 600,000/year (~$2,200). The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) administers income tax; the tax year runs 1 July to 30 June with a 30 September filing deadline. For IT and freelance exporters, a special 0.25% final tax regime on qualifying export income makes Pakistan one of the most competitive freelancer tax jurisdictions globally.
Moving from Pakistan
Leaving Pakistan or becoming a non-resident changes your tax exposure significantly, since Pakistan taxes residents on worldwide income but non-residents only on Pakistan-source income.
