Investing in stocks? Great move — but don’t ignore the tax rules. In Pakistan, profits from shares and mutual funds are taxable, and FBR requires full declaration through your income tax return.
FilerNow helps investors file tax accurately, stay compliant, and avoid notices.
1. Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on Shares
CGT applies when you sell shares for a profit
Holding period matters — longer holding = lower tax
Your brokerage already deducts CGT, but you must still declare it in your return

2. Dividend Income Tax
Dividends are taxed at 15% for filers
Non-filers pay higher withholding tax
Declare dividends to stay ATL listed
3. Why Tax Filing is Still Required?
Even if CGT is deducted by the broker, you must still:
Declare investment income
Justify asset growth via wealth statement
Stay in FBR’s Active Taxpayer List (ATL)
