Budget 2025-26: Govt Gives Income Tax ‘Relief’ to Salaried Class

The new income tax slabs for the salaried class under the federal budget 2025-26 revealed that a smaller rate of income tax would now be applicable from July 1, 2025, where annual taxable income exceeds Rs. 600,000, high-level sources informed ProPakistani.

In the new federal budget 2025-26, where taxable income is between Rs. 600,000 but does not exceed Rs. 1,200,000, the rate of tax would be 1 percent.

For individuals earning up to Rs. 600,000, there is no change, as this bracket remains tax-free. This exemption ensures that the lower-income segment is not burdened with additional taxes.
