As per the Pakistan Federal Budget 2024-25, here is the summary of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on inherited property:
* Tax Trigger: Inheritance itself is not taxed. You only pay CGT when you sell the inherited property.
* Holding Period: The time you own the property is calculated from the date the original owner (deceased) bought it, not when you inherited it.
In short: If the original owner bought the property more than 6 years ago (and it's a plot) or 4 years ago (for a house), a Filer pays 0% tax on the sale. For newer properties, Filers pay a flat 15%.
