1. What is Pakistan's Landlord Rent Tax?

The Landlord Rent Tax in Pakistan is a tax levied on rental income received by property owners. For the 2023-24 tax year, it's calculated based on progressive slab rates applied to the gross rental income exceeding certain thresholds.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Gross\ Rent \) — Total annual rental income (PKR)
• \( Threshold \) — Non-taxable amount (e.g., 300,000 PKR)
• \( Slab\ Rate \) — Tax rate percentage (e.g., 5%)

Explanation: The tax is calculated only on the amount exceeding the threshold, multiplied by the applicable slab rate.

3. Importance of Rent Tax Calculation

Details: Accurate rent tax calculation is crucial for Pakistani landlords to comply with tax regulations, avoid penalties, and properly plan their finances.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total annual rental income in PKR, the applicable slab rate percentage, and the threshold amount. The calculator will compute the tax due on the amount exceeding the threshold.
