Pakistan’s Real Estate Set for Growth as Tax Reforms Take Shape

Pakistan’s government is considering removing Federal Excise Duty (FED). This will give a major boost to the real estate market of the country. The move is likely to be introduced in the 2025-26 budget and aims to increase market activity by reducing financial barriers for investors and homebuyers.

Additionally, there are discussions about reducing transaction taxes on buying and selling property. Experts believe these measures will not only stimulate real estate growth but also positively impact Pakistan’s overall economy.

A Game-Changer for Investors

Moreover, foreign investments in Pakistan are on the rise. Hence, these tax reductions will make property transactions more attractive, especially to overseas investors. Lower taxes mean better affordability and improved liquidity in the market. This allows investors to make confident, long-term decisions.

Key Tax Reforms Under Consideration

Several tax-related changes have been proposed, which, if implemented, will benefit the real estate industry:

• Abolishing FED on property transactions to make buying and selling more cost-effective.
• Encourage high market activity with a reduced transaction tax.
• Standardise stamp duty rates across different provinces and Islamabad.
• Removing Capital Value Tax (CVT) in Islamabad to align with national tax policies.
• Eliminating income source declaration for properties valued under Rs30 million.

Industry experts, including Chaudhry Abdul Rauf, emphasise that long-term real estate policies are essential for driving economic stability. The proposed reforms are expected to support aligned industries such as construction, infrastructure, and housing, creating a ripple effect across the economy.

A Positive Outlook for the Real Estate Sector

Real estate plays a critical role in Pakistan’s economic development, with multiple industries depending on its success. The proposed reforms are expected to:

• Attract more buyers and investors by making transactions simpler and more cost-effective.
• Boost infrastructure development by increasing demand for commercial and residential properties.
• Encourage international investment to buy property in Islamabad and other major cities.
