Karachi, October 6, 2025 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has reported a strong performance in tax collection from salaried individuals, gathering Rs17.32 billion in income tax from employees of the Government of Sindh working in Karachi during the fiscal year 2024–25, according to data obtained by Pakistan Revenue.
The Regional Tax Office (RTO)–II Karachi, responsible for tax collection from provincial employees, achieved an impressive 81% growth in revenue compared to the previous fiscal year. In FY24, the same office collected Rs9.57 billion, showing a significant increase driven by better compliance and efficient monitoring under Section 149 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
RTO-II Karachi oversees all employees of the Sindh government stationed in Karachi, ensuring proper deduction and deposit of income tax on salaries. Officials attribute the surge in revenue to improved enforcement, digital reporting, and greater awareness among salaried taxpayers.
On a broader scale, the FBR recorded a total of Rs556 billion in tax collected from both public and private sector employees nationwide during FY25—reflecting a 53% increase over Rs363 billion in the prior year. Additionally, tax collection from all provincial government employees saw an impressive 98% rise, reaching Rs99.52 billion compared to Rs50.32 billion previously.
The continued growth in collections from salaried employees highlights the FBR’s success in strengthening Pakistan’s tax system and promoting voluntary compliance across the workforce.
