Pakistan Provincial Property Tax Framework (Act of 1958)
The Pakistan Property Tax Calculator determines annual provincial immovable property tax liability under the Urban Immovable Property Tax Act, 1958. Calculating rates across Punjab, Sindh, KPK, and ICT Excise departments, it models Annual Rental Value (ARV), residential exemptions (5-marla plots), commercial property rates (10%), and early payment rebate discounts.
In Pakistan, Urban Immovable Property Tax (UIPT) is a provincial levy enacted under the Urban Immovable Property Tax Act, 1958, and administered by provincial Excise, Taxation & Narcotics Control Departments. Unlike federal income taxes collected by the FBR, property tax funds municipal infrastructure and urban civic development. The tax is computed on the Annual Rental Value (ARV) of the building and land, determined using rating tables based on location category (Category A to G), covered area, and whether the premises are self-occupied or rented out.

Statutory Property Tax Valuation Formula
Under the Punjab and Sindh Urban Immovable Property Tax Schedules:
Annual Rental Value (ARV) = Covered Area (Sq Ft) × Locality Base Rate (Category A–G) × Usage Factor
Residential Properties: Tax = Annual Rental Value × 5%
Commercial Properties: Tax = Annual Rental Value × 10%
Self-Occupied 5-Marla Exemption: Residential plots ≤ 5 Marla (approx 125 sq yds / 1,125 sq ft) are 100% EXEMPT from property tax.
Early Payment Discount: 5% discount on prompt annual payment via ePay Punjab or ePay Sindh before August 31.
Example Calculation
Let's say you have an annual income of PKR 1,200,000.
