KK® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 12:57 PM 

If u sell after 3 years then no capital gain tax??

BAJWA® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 01:00 PM 

yes no CGT for more than 3 years and value for WHT increased from 3M to 4M.
source is Ishaq Dars and real estate representatives press conference

Umer135® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 01:01 PM 

Now 10% CGT on sale within one year. But how? can anyone explain please. As the FBR valuation will remain same for one year, means purchase & sale value same for the subject year,so no capital gain (sale-purchase)
Experts opinion are appreciated in this regard.

Bawja sb
please post calculation of all taxes. For example kanal prism plot if purchased or sold after 1or2or3 years.

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 01:44 PM 

These would be successful for those who were involved in talks with GOVT. Win win for GOVT only. Only FBR will decide fair values of market which canot be fair and they are going to probe previous data too. Don't be happy, say welcome to next slump in Market and wait for FBR notices at home.

Congratulation to All" Great News
Thanks God

Price evaluation still by FBR. So what is the achievement? You dont expect any thing good from this Ishaq Dar.

Jameel Mughal® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 02:21 PM 

That is OK again for Long term Holders But Most of People who are
revolving here and there and help the property up beating Keep Less than 3 ys .
Another? 10%, 7.5% and %5 of what Difference of old DC and Fair market or Fair Market value?

Again I will say quick buying and selling is hall mark of any good Business and Economy does a lot of effort to keep this wheel revolving at fast pace, This will Cause slow down of Turn over. I don't know what Govt will be getting out of it.

Like If one Plot is Sold 3 times in Year Govt Gets a Lot of revenue, Housing society Gets and Dealers as well and Price appreciates, if You Force the people to Hold what benefit is Going to happen??

All 3 parties will get less revenue and only good thing that might Come is price will Come down a Bit as it will not be lucrative for business and hence end user may get some benefit.

In My opinion Govt should Come with more investor friendly Policies where turnover should be faster than Slower, Like making Processes faster, transparent and easier. If they are interested in CGT that should be %age of Fair market Value and should Not be 10,7.5 and 5 But reverse order 5, 7.5 and 10. This will encourage short term investors and sale and Purchase will Continue.

Due to all this education overseas People still have a Lot of Anxiety Conducting big transactions and Buying property, A Government Backed help cell should be there for legal and procedural support. And escrow should be introduced especially for the properties in pipeline.


Please refrain from any grata based Political comment and come up with better ideas

Ahmad Hassan keep crying baby

Overseas Pakistani replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 03:05 PM 

Now the govt robbers will evaluate your property and loot their share whatever they want in the name of taxes,doesn't matter if anyone gain or loose even some capital amount after paying these unfair taxes.
Another poor strategy to take the real estate business to a worst stage...Remember there are many people & industries are associated with success of real estate like real Estate agents,labor class people,cement industry,sanatory & other household items industries etc archetects,civil engineers and many more
Buyers will have fear for buying the property and eventually a massive capital flight may occur from our country which may create unemployment and heavily reduced country's economy
Concerned authorities should think about it and dealers should arrange a protest again...

Arif M® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 03:07 PM 

This is better news for Property.

However, there are still some questions un-answered. A lot will depend on them.

1. How much rates FBR increases.
2. What about White and Black money issue. Proving that to FBR?
3. What happened with amnesty scheme. Do we still have to pay something to Govt for transactions made in last 5 years??

I agree with Jameel sb that property business will slow down due to these policies. Will it be good for pakistan industry or overall economy ? Only time will tell.

Dear CMY, "Real Estate is best" is a kid & He doesn't "know ethics and tryinng to become personal. Kindly kick him out as he is unregistered member. I am surprised that still unregistered members are allowed. If it is allowed then why we are using our orginal IDS.

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 03:14 PM 

KPK and all other provinces already rejected today agreement. This is for your info Mr. Real estate is the best.

Real Estate is best replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 04:50 PM 

Ahmad Hassan it seems you did lots of transactions with black money thats why u have fear of FBR notice? Slump is not in market but on your nerves.

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 06:05 PM 

Borrowed cats catch no mice. Ishaq Dar is relaying on money that he borrowed & looking ways to grab money from us now. Pakistan's external debts has crossed $76b. Babies like you will cry when this baloon will burst. I ve no fear from FBR because I work abroad and earn Hilal Money:)

Great!

HassanHC® replied on Saturday, July 30, 2016 08:28 PM 

Very good outcome. I had many friends on fence who want to buy as
1 transparency. We know what to pay at
2 all old transactions are safe older then 3 yrs
3 rates are reasonable as 5% by 3rd yr
4 Lahore is getting so much infrastructure mega projects so paying tax on profit is fair and it is reasonable
5. This is on gains if next year rate up only then you will give tax of your gain. It is not flat tax.
6. Less then 40 lacs all 5 Marla plots big gainers. Sell and buy them as much as you want.
7. Now all transactions will be transparent no state bank values
8. I listened Ishaq Dar conference and frankly I dint imagined they will give in that much and that soon.
9. Over all neat clean and transparent development
10. Investors want clarity and they got. Rest tax on gains all over the world ppl pay lot higher then this
11. London you pay 28%. Canada where I am 25%.
12. Thanks to Allah
