6. 📝 Living in Pakistan? Become a Filer Before Your Transfer
If you live in Pakistan, the most valuable step before any BTK transfer is becoming an active filer:
2️⃣
File Your Return
File your annual income tax return and declare your assets.
3️⃣
Check ATL Status
Confirm your name is on the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL).
4️⃣
Pay the Lowest Rate
Pay 1.25% as buyer and 2.75% as seller instead of 10.5%–11.5%.
Tip: Confirm your ATL status well before the transfer date — the tax counter checks your status on the day of transfer.

9. FAQ — FBR Tax on Bahria Town Karachi Property 2026
Q1: Is the Late Filer category still available in 2026?
No. The Government has canceled the Late Filer category in this budget. There are now only two categories — Filer (buyer 1.25%, seller 2.75%) and Non-Filer (buyer 10.5%, seller 11.5%).
Q2: I am an Overseas Pakistani and a non-filer. Do I have to pay the non-filer tax?
No. Visit iris.fbr.gov.pk, create a PSID, select Overseas Pakistani, enter the buyer, seller and property details, and you will get an Advance Income Tax challan at the filer rate. Print it and give it to the Bahria Town tax counter at the time of transfer. This works whether you are the buyer or the seller.
Q3: What are the FBR tax rates for Bahria Town Karachi in 2026?
Filer buyer 1.25%, filer seller 2.75%, non-filer buyer 10.5%, non-filer seller 11.5% — all calculated on the FBR valuation shown in the tables above.
Q4: Is FBR tax calculated on my deal price?
