Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has revised the property valuation rates in six major cities of Pakistan in order to control the increasing property prices and revive the declining sale purchase activity in the real estate market of Pakistan.
The land policy implemented by FBR in 2016 has adversely affected the real estate market, and an overall increase of 25 to 30% was observed across different cities. The decision to increase property valuation rates was meant to increase tax revenues, however it didn’t bear results as expected.
We had covered details of land policy of 2016 at following pages:

On an average, FBR has lowered the property valuation rates by 50 to 55% in the major cities of Pakistan including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Faisalabad. Low valuation rates will certainly accelerate the trading activity due to low tax burden on new buyers and sellers.
DHA and Bahria Town valuation rates have also been reduced significantly which would result in less tax cost for new transactions. This development will certainly have quite positive impact over the property market, and short term investors will be able to save something after paying government taxes.
