  • Pakistan – July 2018
    PAKISTAN – JULY 2018 KEY REFORMS FOR PAKISTAN’S REAL ESTATE SECTOR HIT A SNAG ........................................................................ 1 Key reforms for Pakistan’s real estate sector hit a snag Pakistan’s efforts to curb the use of black money in the real estate sector, and enhance its tax collection have been dealt a serious blow. The country’s bureaucracy has halted implementation on two key reforms, which were introduced by the last PML-N government. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has delayed the notification for the establishment of Directorate General of Immovable Properties that could have given authorities the first right to acquire assets that were undervalued to evade taxes. It has also not increased the property valuation rates in big cities as an alternate to the DG Immovable Properties. But the FBR says that it alone cannot take these measures and will require support from the four provinces. These two reforms had been introduced by former finance minister Ishaq Dar and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to crack down against practices that became the cause of use of black money in the real estate sector. The former premier had taken a courageous step and introduced the concept of pre-emption right through the Finance Act 2018 that came into effect from July 1. As an incentive, Abbasi had also lowered the tax rates on purchase and sale of properties, ranging from 1% to 4%, to only 1% of the gross value of the property. Both these measures were planned to come into force at once. The scheme entitles the government to purchase any asset – residential or commercial – at 100% higher price than the one declared by the owner at the time of registration.

    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2014 - 2019 Delegation for relations with South Asia DRAFT REPORT on the 10th EP/Pakistan Interparliamentary Meeting (Islamabad & Lahore) 16 / 20 February 2015 by Ms. Jean Lambert, Chair of the Delegation ------------ 05/03/2015 PK/am 1/18 EN EN Introduction The last time the EP South Asia Delegation also led by Ms Jean Lambert MEP, visited Pakistan, was in late 2012; the country was already in pre-electoral mood, 6 months before the elections that saw the victory of the PML-N. This was the first democratic transition from one elected civilian government to another in Pakistan’s modern history – and recognised as such by the EU, which fielded an EOM led by Chief Observer Michael Gahler MEP; Richard Howitt MEP had led, at the time, the EP Delegation which was part of the overall observation team. The 2012 talks had focused on the steps taken by Islamabad in rule of law and good governance issues, which had helped the country successfully apply for the EU’s special incentive arrangement for sustainable development and good governance – or, more colloquially, the GSP+ scheme, in effect since 1.1.2014. This arrangement, which was examined by the EP Plenary in December 2013, entails enhanced trade preferences, i.e. the full removal of tariffs on essentially the same products as those covered by GSP. MEPs had thus welcomed the ratification of all the major human rights conventions directly linked to the scheme, as well as the lifting of a series of reservations on many of those, such as the ICCPR or the CAT.
