The information technology venture capital companies have been exempted from income tax, while cinemas have been granted a five-year break from paying any income tax across the country. Families of shaheed of armed forces and the federal government have also been exempted from deemed rental income.

A new section has been introduced which empowers the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to introduce fixed tax regimes up to Rs200,000 for retailers and services providers in the future.

Moreover, local supplies of raw materials, components, parts and plant and machinery to registered exporters authorised under the Export Facilitation Scheme 2021 were also included in the domain of zero-rated regime.
