Income Tax Slabs FY 2022-2023 tax brackets 2022

In Pakistan, income tax is levied on individuals and businesses based on their taxable income. Taxable income is the total income earned during a tax year, minus any deductions and exemptions that are allowed under the tax laws. Income tax rates in Pakistan are progressive, meaning that higher levels of income are taxed at higher rates.

Initially, the government proposed exempting salaried class earning up to PKR 100,000 per month from income tax in the federal budget for FY 2022-23, up from PKR 50,000 per month in the previous budget.

However, the government had to change the income tax slabs after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) objected to these new tax exemptions for the salaried class.

Sales Tax Calculator Pakistan

A sales tax calculator is a tool that can be used to calculate the sales tax on a purchase in Pakistan. Sales tax is a tax on the sale of goods and services, and it is typically added to the price of the goods or services being purchased.

In Pakistan, sales tax is levied at the federal and provincial levels. The federal government levies a general sales tax (GST) at a rate of 17% on most goods and services, while the provincial governments levy their own sales taxes at varying rates.

To use a sales tax calculator in Pakistan, you will need to know the following information:

  1. The total price of the goods or services being purchased.
  2. The applicable sales tax rate. This can be found by adding the federal GST rate of 17% and the applicable provincial sales tax rate.

To calculate the sales tax on a purchase in Pakistan, you can use the following formula:

Total sales tax = Total price x (Sales tax rate / 100)

For example, if you are purchasing goods for PKR 100,000 and the applicable sales tax rate is 17%, the total sales tax would be calculated as follows:

Total sales tax = 100,000 x (17 / 100) = PKR 17,000

It is important to note that sales tax rates and rules can change periodically, so it is always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or refer to the relevant government agency for the most up-to-date information.
