Frequently Asked Questions About Dividend Tax Calculator 2026
What is the dividend tax rate in Pakistan for 2025-2026?
The standard dividend tax is 15% for filers and 30% for non-filers. IPP (power) dividends are taxed at 7.5%, dividends from a company that pays no tax at 25%, and mutual funds at 15% (equity) or 25% (debt).
How much tax is deducted on a PKR 500,000 dividend?
On a standard PKR 500,000 dividend, a filer pays 15% which is PKR 75,000 (net PKR 425,000), while a non-filer pays 30%, PKR 150,000 (net PKR 350,000).
Is dividend tax a final tax?
Yes. For most shareholders, the tax deducted on dividends under Section 150 is a final tax, meaning no further tax is payable on that dividend, though it should still be declared in the return.
Do non-filers pay more dividend tax?
Yes – non-filers (not on the ATL) pay 100% higher, so a 15% rate becomes 30%. Becoming a filer by registering an NTN and filing your return halves the tax.
Is this dividend tax calculator free?

How are mutual fund dividends taxed?
Dividends from equity-oriented mutual funds are taxed at 15%, while those from debt or money-market funds are taxed at 25%. For corporate recipients, the debt component is taxed at 29%.

Dividends paid by Independent Power Producers as a pass-through item are taxed at a reduced 7.5% for filers (15% for non-filers).
Is dividend income declared in the tax return?
Yes. Even though it is a final tax, dividend income and the tax deducted must be reported in your annual return. Our team can file your return accurately.
Does super tax apply to dividends?
If your total income (including dividends, capital gains and other sources) exceeds PKR 150 million, super tax under Section 4C may apply on top of the dividend tax.
