NCCPL works out and collects this tax through your broker every month, so most investors do not pay it by hand. Super tax may apply on top for very large incomes.

CGT rates on listed shares (tax years 2026 and 2027)

Shares bought	Filer (ATL)	Non-filer
Before 1 Jul 2013	0%	0%
1 Jul 2013 to 30 Jun 2022	12.5%	12.5%
1 Jul 2022 to 30 Jun 2024	15% (under 1 yr) falling 2.5 points a year to 0% after 6 yrs	Same table (check with your adviser)

From 1 Jul 2025	15%	15% deducted by NCCPL; final tax at your slab rate, minimum 15% (companies 29%)

The Finance Act 2026 (in force from 1 July 2026) kept the 15% filer rate. It also removed a Tenth Schedule exclusion, which advisers read as raising the rate for people not on the Active Taxpayer List; if you are a non-filer, becoming a filer is usually the single biggest tax saving.

Dividends are taxed separately when paid: 15% for filers and 30% for non-filers on most shares (see the FBR withholding card). More in our guide to tax on shares in Pakistan, and work out trading costs with the brokerage calculator.
