The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) collected Rs44 billion in income tax from the salaried class in July 2026, marking an increase from the same month last year.
FBR officials said tax collection from salaried individuals has continued to rise, while property transactions also recorded a significant increase during the month.
According to FBR officials, the tax collected from the salaried class reached Rs44 billion in July 2026.
The figure compares with Rs42 billion collected from salaried individuals in July 2025, showing an increase of Rs2 billion year on year. The latest collection is also significantly higher than the amount recorded two years earlier.
In July 2024, the FBR collected around Rs30 billion in income tax from the salaried class.
The figures indicate a continued increase in tax collection from salaried taxpayers over the past two years.
Rs15.5bn collected from property transactions
The FBR also collected Rs15.5 billion in advance income tax from the purchase and sale of property during July 2026.
The tax collection came as the number of property transactions increased substantially compared with the same period last year.
FBR officials said around 90,000 property transactions were recorded across the country during July 2026.
Property transactions rise by 50%
The number of property transactions recorded in July 2026 was considerably higher than the figure reported a year earlier.
According to FBR officials, around 60,000 property transactions were recorded in July 2025.
The latest figure of approximately 90,000 transactions represents an increase of around 50% in one year.
The rise in property activity also contributed to the collection of Rs15.5 billion in advance income tax during the month.
FBR tax collection trends
The July figures highlight increased tax collection from both salaried individuals and property transactions.
While the salaried class contributed Rs44 billion in income tax, property purchases and sales generated another Rs15.5 billion in advance income tax.
The year-on-year rise in both tax collection and property activity provides an early indication of increased revenue activity at the start of the 2026-27 financial year.
