Frequently Asked Questions About CGT on Shares Calculator 2026
What is the CGT rate on shares in Pakistan for 2025-2026?
For shares acquired from 1 July 2024, filers pay a flat 15%. Non-filers paid 30% on 2024-25 acquisitions, and for acquisitions from 1 July 2025 they pay normal slab rates (minimum 15%). Shares from 2013-2022 are taxed at 12.5% and pre-2013 shares are exempt.
How is CGT on shares calculated?
Capital gain is the sale proceeds minus the purchase cost. The applicable rate is then applied to that gain based on when the shares were acquired and your filer status.
Who deducts CGT on PSX shares?
NCCPL (National Clearing Company of Pakistan) computes, collects and deposits CGT on listed securities at settlement through your broker under Section 37A.
Do non-filers pay more CGT on shares?
Yes – non-filers paid 30% on FY 2024-25 acquisitions versus 15% for filers, and face slab rates on later acquisitions. Becoming a filer by registering an NTN and filing your return halves the tax.
Is this CGT on shares calculator free?
Yes, it is completely free, provided for educational and estimation purposes for investors.
Are shares bought before July 2013 taxable?
No. Listed securities acquired before 1 July 2013 are fully exempt from capital gains tax on disposal.
What rate applies to shares bought in 2020?
Shares acquired between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2022 are taxed at a flat 12.5%, regardless of the holding period.
Do I still declare CGT if NCCPL deducted it?
Yes. Even though NCCPL deducts it at source, you must declare the gain and the CGT in your annual return using the NCCPL CGT certificate. Our team can file your return.
Does super tax apply to share gains?
If your total income including capital gains exceeds PKR 150 million, super tax under Section 4C may apply on top of the CGT.
How can I check my ATL (Filer) status?
Simply type “ATL [space] your 13-digit CNIC” and SMS it to 9966, or verify your Active Taxpayer status on the FBR website.
