The federal government has reportedly ended the tax exemption for Malakand Division and merged tribal districts in the Budget 2026–27. According to sources, no extension has been included in tax relief measures, paving the way for major fiscal changes in the region. Industrial production may face a 12% sales tax, while income tax could be implemented at rates up to 7%. Authorities are also planning a phased rollout of a full tax system by 2028.
Additionally, non-custom paid vehicles may also come under the tax net. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly has demanded an extension in tax exemptions, while industrialists and traders have warned that the new taxation policy could negatively impact the economy and increase unemployment. The business community has expressed serious concerns over the federal government’s decision, as public and industrial attention remains focused on upcoming policy changes.
