Property Tax in Mardan (TY 2026-27)
Mardan property tax guide TY 2026-27 - Sheikh Maltoon Town, Cantt, tobacco-belt FBR valuations, Section 236C/236K WHT, Section 7E, KP stamp duty, KPLIMS.
Mardan property transactions face the federal stack (Section 236C 3%/10% seller, Section 236K 3%/10.5% buyer, Section 7E above PKR 25M, Section 37(1A) CGT) plus KP provincial stamp duty (currently 2-3%) and KP Board of Revenue registration fees. As the agricultural commerce market and tobacco-industry center for the Mardan-Charsadda belt, the city sees substantial agro-commercial transaction flow.
FBR's Mardan valuation table places Sheikh Maltoon Town and Cantonment at the top, followed by tobacco-belt commercial zones and inner-city Bazaar-e-Kalan at lower per-marla rates. Tobacco-processing unit transfers along the Charsadda Road industrial belt run under separate commercial-zone valuations. KPLIMS digitisation has reached most Mardan tehsils though manual intiqal records still appear in older transactions.
Transfer tax in Mardan: 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 Mardan; the Mardan-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; Mardan valuation zones set the base value the percentages apply to.
How a property transfer is taxed in Mardan
- Find your property's zone in the FBR valuation table for Mardan - this notified value, not your contract price, is the base for every federal withholding. FBR's Mardan table covers Sheikh Maltoon Town, Cantt, tobacco-belt commercial zones, and inner-city - Sheikh Maltoon tops the table.
- The buyer pays Section 236K advance tax and the seller pays Section 236C, both collected at the point of registration by the KP Board of Revenue · Sub-Registrar Mardan.
- Confirm both parties' Active Taxpayer List status before the transfer date - the filer rate cannot be claimed retroactively if you were a non-filer on the day of registration.
- Provincial stamp duty, capital value tax, and registration fees are charged by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on top of the federal WHT above.
- Claim the 236K / 236C amounts as adjustable advance tax on your annual IRIS return - keep the challans and the registered deed as evidence.
