Which year does the "tax year 2023" card cover?
FBR names its cards by tax year, which ends on 30 June. Tax year 2023 is the financial year 2022-23: 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023. The rates on this page took effect on 1 July 2022 under the Finance Act 2022.
Why is there a non-filer column?
The Tenth Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance sets higher rates for people not on the Active Taxpayer List, usually double the filer rate. Where FBR lists no non-filer rate, the same rate applies to everyone.
Is this the official card?
The figures are FBR's, taken from its published withholding tax rate card spreadsheets and regrouped by section with plain-English headings. For the original wording, download FBR's PDF from the sources link at the foot of the page.
Which card applies now?
The current card is tax year 2027 (2026-27). Use the current withholding tax rates page for rates deducted today.
