In the Finance Act, 2018, increase in Tax Rates for Salaried and Non-Salaried Persons Tax rates for both salaried and non-salaried persons were drastically reduced. Previously, the threshold of taxable income was Rs.400, 000. Through the Finance Act, 2018, the threshold was substantially increased three-fold to Rs.1, 200,000 which has resulted in huge shortfall of approximately Rs 80 billion in revenue collection.
The threshold of taxable income is generally a proportion of the per capita income of a country and such significant increase is unprecedented. It is, therefore, proposed that the threshold of taxable income may be revised and fixed at Rs 600,000 (Rs 0.6 million) for salaried persons and Rs 400,000 (Rs 0.4 million) for non-salaried persons.
In the case of salaried individuals deriving income exceeding Rs0.6 million per annum, it is proposed to introduce eleven taxable slabs with progressive tax rates ranging from 5% to 35%.
