Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb is currently holding a press conference to elaborate on the proposed budget for FY26-27. The financial plan, presented to the National Assembly on Friday, includes a three-year freeze on provincial transfers. This measure allows the government to reallocate resources toward critical security needs and economic relief. Specific relief measures are targeted at the corporate, real estate, export, and salaried sectors to stimulate activity. The budget introduces new taxes on social media earnings and a fixed tax scheme for small traders. Additionally, it proposes higher minimum tax rates for wholesalers and retailers. To promote green energy, the plan offers incentives for small electric vehicles and bikes while restricting luxury e-vehicles.
