The federal government has set an ambitious target of Rs5.335 trillion in non-tax revenue for the fiscal year 2026-27, with petroleum levy collections, State Bank profits, and provincial transfers expected to remain the largest sources of income.
According to budget documents, the government estimates it will collect Rs5.093 trillion in non-tax revenue during the upcoming fiscal year.
A significant portion of the revenue is expected to come from the petroleum levy, for which a record target of Rs1.676 trillion has been proposed, reflecting a substantial increase compared to previous years.
The government has also set a target of Rs345 million in petroleum levy collections on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Petroleum levy, climate levy among major revenue sources
Budget documents show that the government expects to collect Rs50 billion through the newly proposed Climate Support Levy, while an additional Rs1.573 billion is projected from the levy imposed on off-the-grid captive power plants.
The measures form part of the government's strategy to diversify non-tax revenue streams while supporting fiscal consolidation efforts.
SBP profits to contribute Rs1.44 trillion
The government has projected Rs1.436 trillion in profits from the State Bank of Pakistan during fiscal year 2026-27.
However, the projected profit is significantly lower than the Rs2.428 trillion targeted during the current fiscal year, indicating a decline in expected central bank earnings.
Provinces and administrative receipts to play key role
The federal government expects to receive Rs1.035 trillion from provinces under Article 164 of the Constitution.
Meanwhile, total receipts from civil administration and other sectors have been estimated at Rs1.408 trillion.
Budget documents also project:
- Rs73.06 billion from passport, citizenship, and naturalisation fees
- Rs165.88 billion from affiliated government departments
- Rs130.38 billion in dividends payable to the federal government
- Rs25.6 billion in extraordinary receipts from the United Nations
The government has set the following targets from the energy sector:
- Rs45.5 billion from crude oil royalties
- Rs95 billion from natural gas royalties
- Rs70.81 billion from gas development surcharge
- Rs2.024 billion from gas infrastructure development cess
In addition, the defence sector's own receipts are projected at Rs31.47 billion, while Rs4.09 billion is expected from law and order-related collections.
