Salaried taxpayers up to Rs300k may get relief

Islamabad: Reports indicate that salaried individuals earning up to Rs300,000 per month may receive tax relief in the upcoming federal budget. The proposal aims to ease the financial burden on middle-income households amid rising inflation, which continues to impact daily living costs across Pakistan. While final approval is still under discussion, the measure is expected to provide substantial relief to taxpayers, boost disposable income, and encourage consumer spending. If implemented, this fiscal adjustment could improve household financial stability and support economic activity in urban and semi-urban areas. Will the tax relief stimulate middle-class investment and consumer confidence nationwide?
