Punjab · 2026-27

Punjab’s rates are being disputedOn 21 April 2026 the Punjab Assembly ruled that the notifications setting these rates were not valid, because they were never placed before the Assembly. The figures below are the ones the Board of Revenue published — treat them as a guide and check your position before you pay.

Farm income is not taxed by the FBR. It is taxed by your province instead, so nothing here is a federal charge.

Per-acre land taxA fixed amount for every acre you farm, charged whatever your income is. The first 12½ acres of ordinary land are free, but a mature orchard is charged from its first acre.

Punjab does charge a per-acre tax, but we have not been able to confirm this year’s figures from an official document, so none is shown. The 2025-26 year on this calculator does carry the notified table.

Effective rateYour total tax as a share of your total farm income. It is lower than the top rate you reach, because the earlier slices are taxed less.

7.5%

This is your total tax as a share of everything you earned from the land. It is assessed and collected by the Punjab Board of Revenue.

This is an estimate to help you plan. Your final bill is the one your provincial revenue office assesses.

Farm tax rates for 2026-27

All four provinces moved to the same scale from 1 January 2025. A farmer pays nothing on the first Rs 600,000, then the steps below.

Over Rs. 5,600,000Rs. 1,610,000 + 45% of the amount over Rs. 5,600,000

Companies that farm pay a flat rate instead: 20% for a small company and 29% for any other. Above Rs 150 million of farm income, provinces add a second charge on top.

How the tax is worked out

Four steps, the same in every province. Only the per-acre land tax underneath them changes.

  1. 1. Add up your farm income

    Everything you earned from the land over the year — crops sold, rent received, produce sold at market.

  2. 2. Take off the tax-free part

    The first Rs 600,000 is free for a farmer. Companies do not get this.

  3. 3. Apply the rising scale

    The rest is taxed in steps from 15% up to 45%. Each step only applies to the money inside it.

  4. 4. Check the per-acre tax

    Ordinary land above 12½ acres is charged by band, and a mature orchard at its own rate from the first acre. In KP and Balochistan you pay whichever is higher — this or the tax on your income.

How this fits with the rest of your income

Farm income sits outside the federal system, but the rest of your money does not.

  • The FBR does not tax farm incomeIncome from farming is exempt from federal income tax. Your province taxes it instead.
  • Your other income is still federalSalary, business profit, rent from a shop or house, and profit on savings are all taxed by the FBR as normal.
  • You may still need to declare the farm incomeThe FBR asks you to show exempt farm income on your return, and KP and Balochistan tax the figure you declared there.
  • Other taxes still applySales tax on what you buy, and tax collected on things like electricity bills and cash withdrawals, are unaffected by this.
Questions people ask

Agricultural income tax — common questions

Short answers on who charges farm tax, what is free, and how land and income fit together.

Is farm income taxed in Pakistan?

Yes. Farm income is exempt from federal income tax, but every province charges its own tax on it. Since 1 January 2025 Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan all use the same scale: nothing on the first Rs 600,000, then 15% rising in steps to 45% above Rs 5,600,000.

Does the FBR collect this, or the province?

The province. Farm income is left out of federal income tax, so the FBR does not charge or collect it. You deal with your provincial Board of Revenue — the Sindh Revenue Board in Sindh — and the money goes to the province.

How much farm income is tax free?

Rs 600,000 a year for a farmer, in all four provinces. Only income above that is taxed, and only the part above it — earning Rs 700,000 means tax on Rs 100,000, not on the whole amount. A company gets no tax-free part.

Am I taxed on my land or on what I earn?

Both exist. Punjab, KP and Balochistan charge a fixed amount per acre on ordinary farmland above 12½ acres as well as tax on farm income; Sindh scrapped its per-acre tax in 2025. In KP and Balochistan the law says you pay whichever of the two is higher, so the per-acre figure works as a floor rather than an extra bill.

Is an orchard charged differently?

Yes, and in two ways that matter. An orchard is charged its own flat rate per acre — Rs 600 an acre in Punjab if irrigated and Rs 300 if not, and Rs 900 to Rs 3,500 an acre in KP and Balochistan depending on the zone — and it gets no free allowance, so it is charged from the very first acre. Orchard acres are also left out when your other land is put into its acre band. Only a mature orchard counts: seven years or more for mango, five for other fruit.

Does being a filer or non-filer change what I pay?

No. Filer and non-filer rates are a federal idea and the provincial farm tax has no such split — the same scale applies either way. Being on the Active Taxpayer List still matters for everything else, including tax collected on your bank withdrawals and vehicle papers.

Do I still have to file a federal tax return?

If you have any other income, or you meet the FBR filing rules for another reason, yes — and you show your farm income on it as exempt income. KP and Balochistan both say that where you have declared farm income in your federal return, the province taxes that same figure.

Does livestock, dairy or poultry income count?

It depends on the province, and this is the part that varies most. Punjab wrote a definition of livestock into its Act in 2024, while the other provinces work from the older wording that centres on income from land used for farming. Ask your Board of Revenue before treating animal income as farm income.

Why does the Punjab result carry a warning?

Because Punjab set its rates by notification rather than through the Assembly. On 21 April 2026 the Punjab Assembly ruled that those notifications were void from the start, since the law requires rate changes to be laid before the Assembly at budget time. The rates shown are the published ones, but the legal position is unsettled.

What is the extra charge above Rs 150 million?

A super tax on very large farm incomes. Sindh, KP and Balochistan charge 1% to 10% on top once farm income passes Rs 150 million; Punjab follows the federal Section 4C rates instead. It is worked out on your whole income rather than the part above the line, so it steps up sharply.

Straight from the source

Official sources

Farm income is a provincial tax, so almost every rate here was read out of the Act or gazette notification of the province that charges it. The one exception is Punjab’s super tax: its own law sets no rate and points at the federal Income Tax Ordinance instead, so that is cited too.
