The Punjab Excise Department has decided to start collecting property tax from vacant plots across the province, including Lahore.
According to Additional DG Rizwan Sherwani, they will conduct geo-tagging to identify individuals who fail to pay taxes on vacant plots.
Geo-tagging will help identify all the vacant plots within the rating areas. There are over 115,000 vacant plots in the tax net across Punjab, including Lahore.
He added that the majority of vacant plots, over 70%, are located in large societies in Lahore. Through geo-tagging, more than 0.3 million vacant plots will be brought into the tax net.
Empty plots are subject to annual taxes ranging from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 12,000 based on the rating area’s value. The addition of new plots to the tax net is projected to boost annual revenue by one to one and a half billion rupees.

Shameful thought and shameful act
What about taxpayers? It’s disappointing that the government isn’t providing relief to those who are already fulfilling their tax obligations. This lack of support may contribute to the reluctance of individuals to become tax filers in Pakistan. Why should anyone bother to file taxes if they aren’t receiving adequate recognition or assistance from the government?
They don’t have any other earning benefits in pakistan to make it better that’s why beggars and looted their own country.
