Assumptions
- · Model assumes salaried individual with salary exceeding 75% of taxable income, the primary case for most employees.
- · No personal allowance or standard deduction is applied; taxable income equals gross salary.
- · Social security contributions (Employees Old Age Benefit) are nominal and employer-collected; employee contribution is minimal and not explicitly modeled due to lack of published rates.
- · Surcharge of 9% on income tax applies when taxable income exceeds PKR 10,000,000.
- · Various deductions (medical allowance, donations, teacher rebate) are omitted as they are conditional, time-limited, or apply to specific employee categories and cannot be represented in a general representative model.
- · Property tax, stamp duty, and registration taxes are provincial/local levies excluded from this federal income tax model.
- · Withholding at source is assumed to follow the same brackets; final tax is calculated on full taxable income.
