In Pakistan, managing employee income tax is a key responsibility for employers, governed by the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. With tax slabs updated annually via the Finance Act, the Pakistan Income Tax Calculator 2025 for Employers is a vital tool for ensuring compliance and streamlining payroll. This article provides a detailed guide on taxation obligations, how to use the calculator, and references to relevant legal provisions.
Understanding Taxation and Employer Obligations in Pakistan
Income tax on salaries is taxable under Section 12 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, if it exceeds the minimum threshold (PKR 600,000 annually as per the 2025 slabs). Employers must withhold tax from salaries at the time of payment as per Section 149 and deposit it with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). Non-compliance can lead to penalties under Section 161 (failure to pay collected tax) or Section 162 (failure to file returns).
The 2025 tax slabs include:
-
0% for income up to PKR 600,000
-
5% on income between PKR 600,001 and 1,200,000
-
15% on income between PKR 1,200,001 and 2,200,000 (e.g., PKR 30,000 fixed + 15% on excess over PKR 1,200,000)
Employers are also responsible for applying tax credits (e.g., Section 61 for donations, Section 62 for investments) and submitting annual statements under Section 165. The calculator simplifies these tasks, ensuring accuracy and adherence to the law.
