The Punjab Excise and Taxation Department has rolled out sweeping reforms for Lahore’s housing sector, granting a full property-tax exemption for residential units valued up to PKR 5 million, shifting assessments to District Collector (DC) table values to standardize rates across districts, and offering a 5% rebate for early payment before 30 September. A self-assessment mechanism has also been introduced to reduce dependency on field assessments and disputes.
In early 2026, the Punjab Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department (ETNCD), in coordination with federal tax authorities, launched a targeted enforcement action against two major housing developers in Lahore to bring private societies firmly under the tax net. This crackdown forms part of a broader effort to formalize the real estate sector and curb undocumented investments.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced a 30% to 35% reduction in property valuation rates for DHA Lahore, aligning them closer to actual market prices. This move is expected to lower overall transaction costs, increase buyer confidence, and stimulate property transactions across key phases including DHA Phase 9 Prism, Phase 10, Phase 7, and Phase 8.
For Tax Year 2025–26, the FBR has updated advance tax slabs under Section 236C (Seller Tax) and Section 236K (Buyer Tax). Key changes include a flat 11.5% rate for non-filers on sale, and up to 18.5% for non-filers on high-value purchases. The Federal Excise Duty (FED) on property transfers has been abolished, providing major relief for buyers and sellers nationwide, including in DHA Lahore.
As of October 2025, the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) confirms approximately 320 LDA-approved housing societies in Lahore. Among them is the Excise & Taxation Employees Cooperative Housing Society, located in Khamba, approved on 04-08-1993. The list serves as a critical tool for investors to verify legality and avoid unapproved projects with high financial risk.
