BUT capital gains tax to be taxed like income tax. So if you made a profit of 50 Laks you will have to pay around 30% tax on it like 15 laks or so.
Habib replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 02:00 AM PST 

Capital Gain tax upto 10 years is totally unexpected and unacceptable, The Whole purpose looks that Govt want people to Look around for other options, I totally agree for that but there is no safe investment for overseas other Property buying in reputed societies like DHA,
USA Doc replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 02:29 AM PST 

I agree !! This 10 year capital gain is total disappointment
If overseas Pakistani don’t invest in real estate then govt will loose lots of revenue
Someone need to tell govt to revert it to 3 years
Islamabadi replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 03:16 AM PST 

At the same time they have made new rule that who so ever comes to DHA or any authority for purchase transfer of plot, the non filer tax has been doubled and the when it DHA will deposit this tax to FBR, they will send all the details of non filer and soon that person will be sent notice by FBR. And non filing of returns is now an offence punishable for one year in jail
Altaf replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 03:17 AM PST 

Pls guide what about those who bought plots in past and the time period is over 3 years? Before there was no CGT on them what now?
Islamabadi replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 03:30 AM PST 

CGT is applicable when you sale it, if sold after 1st July CGT is applicable
Islamabadi replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 03:35 AM PST 

This is a good budget for genuine buyers who want to buy and construct home for their family. Certainly bad for property mafia, including the dealers, investors and hoarders. Government has tried to discourage people from investing in property which does not create any jobs when compared to business or industry.
Mirza replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 06:07 AM PST 

My 2 cents,

1. Market activity will slow down. Very slow
2. Sellers will try to avoid heavy CGT
3. Buyers will avoid FBR notices.

Consequently, less deals and stagnation. I think some people will try to sell before 1st july.

Secondly, Small properties will have less taxes, less profit and less CGT. It may work for some. But still it won’t change anything.
Zameen replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 11:26 AM PST 

Property market has grown very tricky now after budget. CMY your in-depth analysis is awaited.
Property Fullstop replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 11:58 AM PST 

The State Minister for Revenue Hammad Azhar in his Federal Budget for FY19-20 speech, proposed to increase immovable properties’ rates of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) by taking it closer to about 85% of actual market value.
Also, he proposed that persons purchasing immovable property of fair market value greater than rupees 5 million in the case of immovable property and one million or more in the case of movable property may be required to purchase through a banking instrument other than a bearer cheque. A penalty at the rate of 5 percent of FBR value of immovable property is proposed for violation of this requirement. Further in case of violation of this condition, no depreciation allowance shall be available and purchase price for capital gain purpose shall also be treated as zero. Currently, the actual market rates are usually 5 to 10 time more than DC rate and 2 to 4 times of FBR rate.Furthermore, it is proposed in the Budget speech that income from capital gains may also be taxed under normal tax regime at normal tax rates. Income from capital gains on open plots is proposed to be taxed at 100% where the open plot is sold within one year and for period up to ten years. Income from capital gains on constructed property is also proposed to be taxed on similar lines when sold within period of five years. In case a property is sold within one year it shall be taxed as normal income. Tax shall be charged on 3/4rth of the income if the same property is sold after one year.

At present if a purchaser of an immovable property pays 3% tax on the difference between the DC value and FBR value of property, he is not required to explain the source of investment on the said differential amount. This is a permanent tool for whitening of undeclared money which is against the international tax norms.
Therefore it is proposed to withdraw the tax at the rate of 3% on differential amount. According to details, FBR had introduced valuation tables of immovable properties in major cities. The government says the rates notified by the Board are still considerably lower than actual market value. It is therefore intended that FBR rates of immovable properties would be taken closer to or about 85% of actual market value. As the increase in FBR values of immovable property is going to increase the incidence of tax on genuine buyers and sellers, it is proposed that rate of withholding tax on purchase of immovable property may be reduced from 2% to 1%. At present, withholding tax on purchase of property is attracted only if the value of property is more than four million rupees which is a loophole. There is a tendency to avoid this tax by splitting the transaction amount.

In order to stop the misuse of this threshold, the withholding tax on purchase is proposed to be collected irrespective of the value of property. At present, there is no withholding tax on sale of property if the property is held for a period of more than three years. This is in line with the holding period for taxability of capital gain which is also three years. As capital gain is to be taxed under normal tax regime even beyond the period of three years, it is proposed that withholding tax on sale of property be collected irrespective of the holding period to bring it in line with the proposed treatment of capital gains.

Huge setback for property investors.
Government simply wants investors to invest in sectors that contributes to the economy.
No recovery in real estate sector any soon. Possibly a slump in the waiting!
M Zahid® replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 12:50 PM PST 

Property investment is no more an option other than constructing house. Go and look elsewhere for investment opportunity.
MBS® replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 04:51 PM PST 

Lack of incentive in property investment will directly impact the volume of Remittances as most overseas Pakistanis tend to invest in property only.
They can't really run or invest in businesses in this environment. So when you're shaking that up, you should know your GDP will plunge further as these remittances make an integral part of our GDP.

I don't know where are we going in this confusing state of affairs? The government is either very callous or totally clueless about what to do?
MBS® replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 04:57 PM PST 

All i see and hear from government ministers is excuses and blame on previous politicians as if they are still competing for Elections.

No talk or strategy shared until now as to how they plan to handle this economic situation in mid to long term.

Can someone remind them that they are here to work and perform not for the election campaigns on media?
Habib replied on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 08:58 PM PST 

This will erode economy Further than Helping
At present most of Buyers are overseas and slump in property market will decrease remittances
Making sale and Purchase more and more difficulty by imposing more taxes and Capital gain Tax will cause lesser transection in other word less revenue for the Country as already has Happened.
Capital gain Tax will not only discourse investors but also Builders, These are the back bone on the sector and possibly the only way invested money is translated into Jobs and welfare of people, this will result of Loss of Jobs of peoples who are related to Construction Business.
User_6006® replied on Thursday, June 13, 2019 02:23 AM PST 

Everyone of you should download citizen portal app and launch a suggestion to PM that how govt going to miss lot of tax due ti sluggish new policy of property taxes.i can give you simple example if uber raise their fare captains will get more fare per one customer but total no of customer will be reduced and waiting time will increase and in end tegy will be in loss.

Owner abroad
Aoa.. I have a question need a prompt reply. My sister is owner of a plot in dha town she is going abroad in April wont be coming back soon. What can be done if i want to sale that plot in her absence. Does power of attorney works in such cases when u want to sell a plot in absence of real owner.? Thanks
Mushtaq replied on Tuesday, March 12, 2019 07:52 PM PST 

Yep any lawyer can give you the paperwork to do it. Oh, and Just tell your sister to her face that you are planning on robbing her. I hope you go to hell.
Adnan replied on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 03:00 PM PST 

Mr. Mushtaq, that was not nice, you do not know if someone is lying or telling the truth, so be civilized. Altaf.. I was once told that DHA does not accept sale of plots through POA. However, LRE may clarify, you can also check with DHA and advise on this forum. I am also out of Pakistan and would like the possibility of being able to sell without having to come to Pak.
Mushtaq replied on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 06:53 PM PST 

don't you dare tell me what to say Adnan. watch it ok. or you will suffer the consequences.
Altaf replied on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 10:25 PM PST 

Mushtaq saab thank u so much for ur kind reply and a show of ur uncivilized thinking. When u reply by virtue of stereotype u r making a fool out of urself. Anyways although i dont have to but will still clarify that it was my plot I invested in my sister's name so I have all the authority to do whatever I like with it. May Allah swt reward u for cursing ppl to hell. He is the best judge.
Lahori_guy replied on Thursday, March 14, 2019 07:50 AM PST 

@Altaf - In DHA you can sell plot while owner being overseas. Its bit long and cumbersome process. Check DHA website and see section Foreign Transfer (Seller Abroad) https://dhalahore.org/transfer-procedure/

Thank you gentlemen for your kind replies.. and mushtaq sahab it’s neither wise nor civilized to be threatening someone of consequences on a public forum. You are either very well connected so you think you can get away with anything or are just a plain uneducated fool. Either way you should be banned from this and all other public forums where decent people communicate.

Story Behind State Life 2
There are few rumors these days for State Life Phase 2; since I have 4 plots over there and stuck there for past 8 years due to their worst management and now due to such amours I decided to visit State Life Office to find out the real story behind it.

So what I am told that this time State Life Management is very serious to finish this issue of less land and more file being sold and they are soon going to conduct annual meeting of final 14 marlas for 1 kanal and 7 marlas for 10 marlas plot holder. For 5 Marlas, there would be an option of refund or pay more to get plot.

This time they have pressure from LDA and NAB also, even I was told that many would be dragged by NAB if the management do not take adhere them.

Also NAB seems like very active for such societies who are in deep shit since long.

So I guess who ever is "leaking" such news that "State Life Is Coming" is somewhat true. they would be announcing the annual meeting date in December. I was also told told that is high demand now for the prices and enquirers for State Life.

Allah Knows The Best!!!
Naeem Hussain replied on Wednesday, October 11, 2017 02:54 AM PST 

so if i buy 1 kanal now i should keep in mind its actually 14 marla?
Altaf replied on Wednesday, October 11, 2017 05:26 AM PST 

Yes Naeem, you would get 14 Marlas instead of 1 Kanal.

Think in a different way; State Life 2 is all over surrounded by DHA and exactly on Ring Road. In that area, you can no way get the plot for 5 Marlas for which you are going to buy for 14 Marlas (or so called 1 kanal). So it is Win Win game.

Also I cautioned you that it is a dead society for past 10 - 12 years and we are having great hope it would mature soon thats why no dealer is talking about.

Once matured hopefully within a year, price would sky rocket and one one can deny that.
Ali DXB replied on Wednesday, October 11, 2017 05:28 AM PST 

I am somewhat agree with Altaf. no society in that are is close to the price of SL2 but the only risk factor when it would mature. I was having some extra cash and I bought 2 plots earlier this year with the same hope as Altaf said
SL2 replied on Wednesday, October 11, 2017 08:51 AM PST 

Location is ideal and in this price you will not get anything but again it is timing dont know how long it will take, I have SL2 1kanal since last few years, is it converted to 14marla, or I have to visit their office to convert it to 14 marla, can someone provide information.
Mahmood® replied on Wednesday, October 11, 2017 06:12 PM PST 

this is the most optimistic solution what Mr Altaf assumed however there may be other scenarios to keep in mind. All members will not agree on any single scheme of settlement and from there the nightmare will continue, court cases stay order litigation. In addition to short of land the society will require funds to develop the society which is currently with deep pit holes that will be huge cost.
Farooq replied on Friday, October 13, 2017 04:07 AM PST 

I agree with Mahmood. The location is ideal. However, the management.... either wait wait & wait or sell and move-on.
Farooq replied on Friday, October 13, 2017 05:08 AM PST 

There is one more problem; the land is full of rocks and great depressions? True?
Farooq replied on Friday, October 13, 2017 05:17 AM PST 

and don't forget to think about the Opportunity cost of holding the plot in State Life 2. If you have no idea what is meant by "Opportunity cost", ask any kid in your family who is studying economics in FA or BA

So who is playing this game? who is behind LDA?
What are the motives?

It looks like a revenge of Bilawal House. Ppl. can expect this from the Ganja brothers.

this proves like other Govt institutes, LDA is also being used for some political reasons. I don't understand where the hell was LDA sleeping during the last 3-4 years when D was launched.

5 Marla Plot Construction
Dear all, i have plot in Bahria town Rawalpindi Phase 8 ali block so please guide me for construction of 5 Marla how much will be the cost for 5 Marla double story and can i start with 12 lacks as i have some saving and what is the best way for construction as i am out of country and if i will construct first floor so the second i can construct slowly as i think 12 lacks is not enough for double story construction so please guide me and it is better to construct now in phase 8 ali block are no.
Abdullah replied on Saturday, June 9, 2012 07:12 PM PST 

construction cost is around 1500 rupees, per square feet.
You can calculate how much area in sq.ft you plan to construct on your 5 marla plot, then you would know how much money you need.

1 Marla = 30.25 sq yards = 25.2928 sq m = 272.25 sq feet.
5 Marla = 151.25 sq yards = 126.464 sq m = 1361.25 sq feet.

construction area, 5 marla = 1361.25 sq feet * 1500 = 2041875 rupees

So you need 21 lac ruppes to start the construction for 5 marla single storey home.

Abdullah
