How the three company taxes fit together
A company can face all three in the same year, but they do not simply add up. Work through them in this order.

Work out the tax on your profit
Apply the company rate for your kind of company to your taxable profit for the year.

Check it against the minimum tax on sales
Work out the minimum tax from your yearly sales. If it is higher than the tax on your profit, that is what you pay instead — you never pay both.

Then add super tax if your income is high
Super tax is separate. If your income for the year passes the threshold, it is charged on top of whichever figure came out of step 2.

Super tax questions for Pakistan
Simple answers about the extra Section 4C tax on very high income.
What is super tax in Pakistan?
Super tax is an extra income tax under Section 4C charged on people and businesses with very high income for the year. It sits on top of the normal income tax rather than replacing it.
What is the super tax rate for 2026-27?
For most businesses and people, nothing is charged at or below Rs. 500 million of Section 4C income, and 8% of the whole income is charged above that. Banks, oil and gas exploration businesses and fertilizer sellers pay 10% of the whole income once it passes Rs. 150 million.
Is the rate charged only on the amount above the threshold?
No. The law charges the rate on the whole income, not just the part above the threshold. So a company just over Rs. 500 million pays 8% of everything, which is why crossing a threshold matters so much more here than with ordinary step-by-step tax rates.
What changed for 2026-27?
The six middle bands between Rs. 150 million and Rs. 500 million were removed for most persons, and the top rate came down from 10% to 8%. In 2025-26 the same income would have been charged somewhere between 1% and 10%. Banks, oil and gas explorers and fertilizer sellers were left out of the change.
Do exporters have to pay super tax?
From 2026-27, Section 4C does not apply at all where the export money you actually received for the year is more than 80% of your total sales. This exemption is new — it did not exist in earlier years.
Does super tax apply to individuals, not just companies?
Yes. Section 4C applies to any person, so an individual or a partnership with Section 4C income above the threshold is caught in the same way a company is.
Which income figure should I enter?
Use the income worked out the way Section 4C describes, which brings together dividends, capital gains, brokerage and commission, and all your other taxable income for the year. It is often not the same as the profit figure in your accounts, so use the Section 4C number your accountant prepares.
Do I pay super tax as well as company tax?
Yes. Super tax is genuinely extra. Work out the tax on your profit first, compare that with the minimum tax on your sales and take the higher one, then add super tax on top if your income passes the threshold.
Which tax years does this cover?
Tax years 2022-23 through 2026-27. The older years use the banded table, which ran from 1% above Rs. 150 million up to 10% above Rs. 500 million, with rates between Rs. 200 million and Rs. 500 million cut by 0.5 points in 2025-26.
