Property Tax in Dera Ghazi Khan (TY 2026-27)
Dera Ghazi Khan property tax guide TY 2026-27 - Block 7/8 Civil Lines, cement-belt FBR valuations, Section 236C/236K WHT, Section 7E, Punjab stamp duty.
Dera Ghazi Khan property transactions follow the federal stack (236C 3%/10%, 236K 3%/10.5%, 7E above PKR 25M, 37(1A) CGT within five years) plus Punjab stamp duty (1-3%) and PLRA registration. DG Khan's cement-manufacturing industry and role as an inter-provincial trade gateway between Punjab, KP, and Balochistan drive substantial commercial-property and warehousing flow.
FBR's DG Khan valuation table places Block 7 and Block 8 Civil Lines at the top, followed by the cement-belt commercial zones around the highway and inner-city Khayaban-e-Sirsa. Cement plant transfers routinely cross Section 7E's PKR 25M threshold. The cross-provincial trade corridor also creates a steady warehousing-property market with separate commercial valuations.
Transfer tax in Dera Ghazi Khan: worked example
Federal withholding on a property transfer is a percentage of the FBR-notified value - not the declared sale price - and the non-filer rate is more than triple the filer rate. These rates apply nationwide, including Dera Ghazi Khan; the Dera Ghazi Khan-specific variable is which valuation zone your property falls in.
| FBR value | Buyer 236K (filer 3%) | Buyer 236K (non-filer 10.5%) | Seller 236C (filer 3%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rs 10,000,000 | Rs 300,000 | Rs 1,050,000 | Rs 300,000 |
| Rs 25,000,000 | Rs 750,000 | Rs 2,625,000 | Rs 750,000 |
| Rs 50,000,000 | Rs 1,500,000 | Rs 5,250,000 | Rs 1,500,000 |
| Rs 100,000,000 | Rs 3,000,000 | Rs 10,500,000 | Rs 3,000,000 |
Section 236K (buyer) is 3% for filers / 10.5% for non-filers; Section 236C (seller) is 3% for filers / 10% for non-filers of the FBR-notified value. Property above PKR 25M FBR value also falls under Section 7E deemed-income tax. Rates are national; Dera Ghazi Khan valuation zones set the base value the percentages apply to.
How a property transfer is taxed in Dera Ghazi Khan
- Find your property's zone in the FBR valuation table for Dera Ghazi Khan - this notified value, not your contract price, is the base for every federal withholding.
