Pakistan Real Estate Budget 2025–26: A New Era of Growth, Affordability & Transparency
In a bold step toward reforming the property sector, the Government of Pakistan has unveiled its most ambitious real estate budget to date. With sweeping tax cuts, the removal of outdated duties, and enhanced access to mortgage finance, Pakistan Real Estate Budget 2025–26 signals a massive shift in how real estate will operate in Pakistan.
Whether you’re buying your first home, investing in luxury apartments, or launching a new development, the time to act is now.
✅ Key Tax Reforms That Change the Game
1. 📉 Withholding Tax Slashed
Real estate transaction costs have dropped dramatically:
- From 4% to 2.5% (1st slab)
- From 3.5% to 2% (2nd slab)
- From 3% to 1.5% (3rd slab)
🟢 Impact: Lower WHT directly benefits both buyers and sellers, increasing liquidity and affordability across the board.
2. ✂️ FED Abolished
The government has completely eliminated the Federal Excise Duty (FED) on residential and commercial property transfers.
🟢 Impact: This long-awaited step removes a major barrier, especially for high-value transactions and large-scale developments.
3. 📍 Stamp Duty in Islamabad Reduced to 1%
Stamp duty in the capital city has been slashed from 4% to just 1%.
🟢 Impact: Islamabad is now among the most investment-friendly cities in Pakistan—expect Lahore and Karachi to follow.
4. 🏠 Tax-Free Credits for Affordable Housing
Buyers of:
- 10 marla homes (~2,250 sq ft)
- Flats up to 2,000 sq ft
…will benefit from exclusive tax-free credits and government-backed home loans.
🟢 Impact: This opens the door to middle-income families who previously couldn’t afford high-quality housing.
🔎 How It Benefits You
| Stakeholder | Key Benefit | Long-Term Outlook |
|---|---|---|
| 🏘️ Buyers | Lower costs, mortgage access | Easier homeownership |
| 🏗️ Developers | No FED, lower stamp duty | Higher margins, fast-track approvals |
| 🏦 Banks | Growing home loan market | New lending models |
| 🇵🇰 Government | More transactions = bigger tax base | Stronger, formal real estate economy |
