Major tax relief has been granted to the Islamabad property market in May 2026. Under the new federal notification S.R.O. 644(I)/2026, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has significantly reduced the valuation rates (DC Rates) for Gulberg Greens and Gulberg Residencia. This reduction, ranging from 30% to 35%, directly lowers the cost of property transfers, advance taxes, and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for both buyers and sellers.
Below are the exhaustive valuation tables extracted directly from the official notification for every category of property in the IBECHS project.
The FBR has reduced the possession-based valuation from Rs. 19,000 to Rs. 13,300 per square yard. Non-possession plots are maintained at a baseline of Rs. 5,000 per square yard.
