The Finance Act 2025 has introduced several major changes to Pakistan’s tax structure, aiming to increase revenue collection, promote digital compliance, and broaden the tax net. Whether you are an entrepreneur, SME owner, or corporate taxpayer, understanding these reforms is crucial to avoid penalties and take advantage of new incentives.
What’s New in Finance Act 2025?
Higher Penalties for Late Tax Filing
- Individuals and businesses failing to file income tax returns on time now face increased fines starting from PKR 10,000 to PKR 250,000, depending on the taxpayer category.
Mandatory E-Invoicing for Businesses
- Companies registered under sales tax and income tax must issue electronic invoices for B2B and B2C transactions. Non-compliance can lead to penalties and suspension from the Active Taxpayer List (ATL).
Withholding Tax Adjustments
- The new Act revises withholding tax rates on various transactions, including property transfers, contracts, and banking transactions for non-filers.
FBR’s Real-Time Audit Powers
- The FBR has been granted powers to access real-time business data to track transactions and identify potential tax evasion.
Tax Incentives for IT, Startups & Exporters
