Question 1

What is FBR?

Accepted Answer

The Federal Board of Revenue is Pakistan's central tax collection agency. It sets and enforces income tax slabs, collects taxes, and runs the active taxpayer (filer) system.

Question 2

How does FBR calculate salary tax?

Accepted Answer

FBR annualizes your salary, applies the progressive slabs for the tax year (0% to 35%), and requires your employer to deduct the tax monthly at source.

Question 3

What are the FBR salary tax slabs for 2026-27?

Accepted Answer

Up to 600,000: 0% · 600,001–1.2M: 1% · 1.2M–2.2M: 11% · 2.2M–3.2M: 20% · 3.2M–4.1M: 25% · 4.1M–5.6M: 29% · 5.6M–7M: 32% · above 7M: 35%.

Question 4

How much FBR tax on a PKR 100,000 salary?

Accepted Answer

PKR 6,000 a year — PKR 500 per month (1.2M annual income: 600k free, 600k at 1%).

Question 5

Are FBR salary slabs the same for filers and non-filers?

Accepted Answer

For salaried income, yes — the same slabs apply to everyone. Filer/non-filer status changes withholding rates on other income types, so active filers generally pay less overall tax.

Question 6

What income is exempt from FBR tax?

Accepted Answer

Up to PKR 600,000 annually is tax-free; medical allowance (up to 10% of basic salary) and approved charitable donations can reduce taxable income.

Question 7

Is FBR tax paid monthly or yearly?

Accepted Answer

Both — employers deduct monthly withholding, and you reconcile annually by filing an income tax return.

Question 8

Do I need to file a return if my employer deducts tax?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes, if your income exceeds the filing threshold — filing keeps you an active filer, which avoids higher withholding on other income. Confirm your obligation with a tax advisor.
