FBR Income Tax Slabs FY 2024-25 & 2025-26: Complete Guide for Salaried & Business

Detailed breakdown of the updated FBR tax slabs for salaried individuals, business owners, and Association of Persons (AOPs), including high earner surcharges.

Key Legal Takeaways
  • Salaried individuals paying up to 35% tax on taxable income exceeding Rs. 4.1 Million.
  • Non-salaried business individuals taxed up to 45% on income exceeding Rs. 5.6 Million.
  • Active Taxpayer List (ATL) filers avoid 100% withholding tax penalties on bank transactions.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) revised income tax brackets under the Finance Act. For salaried employees, tax rates start at 5% above Rs. 600,000 annual income and scale up to 35% for amounts over Rs. 4.1 Million.

Business individuals and AOPs face steeper tax brackets up to 45% for annual profits exceeding Rs. 5.6 Million.

To prevent excessive withholding tax deductions at source (Section 236G/236H/236K), taxpayers must ensure their returns are submitted before the statutory deadline to stay active on the ATL list.
