Islamabad: The federal government has introduced new income tax slabs for the salaried class in the budget for the financial year 2025-26. These slabs will be applicable on the basis of different salaries, and in each slab, a fixed tax and a percentage-based tax on additional income have been imposed.
Understand in a simple way for the common citizen:
If your annual salary is more than 6 lakhs, then you will now have to pay some tax, even if it is only 1 percent.
