GOVERNMENT IMPOSES NEW TAXES ON REAL ESTATE SECTOR

The federal government has imposed 440 billion in new taxes on the real estate sector in this budget for 2022-2023. FBR Chairman Asim Ahmad said that the Federal Board of Revenue has submitted a proposal of 440 billion in new taxes to the federal government, which was approved and presented in the budget.

Following is the division of new real estate taxes:

·         Rupees 34 Billion in terms of Customs Duty

·         Rupees 316 Billion in terms of income tax

·         Rupees 90 Billion in terms of Sales Tax and Federal Excise Duty

Furthermore, he informed the press that FBR has decided to provide relief of 85 Billion in taxes to the real estate sector in the next fiscal year. A total of 316 Billion in taxes will be imposed in the next budget. The detail of the implemented tax ratio is also made public by the Federal Board of Revenue.

Capital Gain Tax period has been increased to 6 years. Earlier, CGT would apply if you sold your property within 4 years, and tax rate would decrease each year. As per new amendment, the effective period will be 6 years and maximum tax rate will be 15%.


Advanced tax on sale or purchase of immovable property has been increased to 2% for tax filers whereas non-filers will pay 5% tax at the time of buying a property. Earlier the Advance tax was 1% on filers and 2% on non-filers.

Such excessive taxation is likely to discourage real estate investments. Additionally, cost of construction has already gone up massively in the past 2 years, so builders may also stop construction activities due to low demand and high risk of loss due to increasing inflation.

Conclusion

Due to the government’s considerable interest in the housing and building sector and private development enterprises seeking to attain new heights of quality, the real estate sector will achieve significant success in 2021.
