Federal Budget 2026-27: Key Highlights for Businesses

The newly announced Federal Budget brings several pivotal changes. Whether you run a private limited company, operate as a sole proprietor, or earn a salary, the revised slabs demand immediate tax planning.

Revised Salary Slabs

While the basic exemption limit remains unchanged, higher income brackets will see a nominal increase in their tax liability. Employers must adjust their monthly payroll withholding calculations accordingly to remain compliant.

Corporate Tax Rates

The corporate tax rate remains stable at 29%, but super tax applicability has been restructured. Companies with earnings exceeding Rs. 300 million will face tiered super tax rates, which significantly impacts retained earnings.

Incentives for IT Exports

Good news for the tech sector: The 0.25% Final Tax Regime (FTR) for PSEB-registered IT exporters continues. However, the condition for remitting 80% of revenue into Pakistan through proper banking channels is strictly monitored via the PRAL system.
