Property Transfer Tax Calculator

FBR + provincial tax on buying or selling property.

About this calculator

Buying or selling property in Pakistan involves several taxes — advance tax under the Income Tax Ordinance (collected by FBR), stamp duty, CVT and registration fees charged by the province. These are calculated on the FBR valuation or DC rate, whichever is higher, and filers pay lower rates than non-filers. Our calculator totals it all so there are no surprises at the registrar’s office.

Whether you are purchasing a plot in DHA or selling a family house, knowing the tax cost upfront helps you negotiate the real price. Enter the property value, select buyer or seller, and mark your filer status. The tool breaks down each tax head so you can see exactly where the money goes.

How to use

Enter the property’s value (use the FBR valuation or agreed price, whichever is higher).
Choose whether you are the buyer or the seller.
Select your tax filer status — filers pay significantly lower advance tax.
Review the breakdown of FBR tax, stamp duty and other provincial charges.

Frequently asked questions

Do filers pay less property transfer tax?

Yes. Under the Income Tax Ordinance, filers pay a lower advance tax rate on property transactions than non-filers — often half or less. Active Taxpayer List status matters at the time of transfer.

Is tax calculated on the DC rate or market price?

Tax is charged on the FBR valuation or the DC rate, whichever is higher — not necessarily the price you agreed with the other party.

Which taxes does a property buyer pay in Pakistan?

Typically advance income tax (adjustable), stamp duty, CVT and registration/mutation fees. The calculator lists each head separately.
