It is levied as a fixed amount per acre of land, or as a percent of income of owners of agricultural land, whichever is higher. After 2001, the Government had revised the land based AIT rates, w.e.f. from FY2019-20, by doubling the existing rates. Similarly, the exemption limit for the Income Based AIT rates had also been raised from PKR 80,000 income per annum to PKR 400,000 per annum in order to improve the horizontal equity between taxes on agricultural and non-agricultural income. The RE for AIT for FY 2019-20 is set at PKR 2.074 billion indicating 100% achievement of target. Land Revenue: Land Revenue Land revenue is a broad category and includes a number of receipts related to land revenue functions, the largest being mutation fee. This category of Provincial Tax Receipts has a lot of potential and is expected to contribute PKR 20.0 billion to the provincial exchequer during FY 2020-21 which is 38% higher than the R.E for previous year. PKR 14.5bn Revised Estimate 2019-20 PKR 20.0bm bn Budget Estimate 2020-21 Stamp Duty: Government has reformed the system by introducing e-Stamps to facilitate taxpayers, plug leakages in this tax collection and to ensure greater transparency in the process of transfer of property. This reform has shown a decent growth since implementation of reform initiative. A priority area for the Federal and Provincial Governments has been the Construction Sector. In order to provide impetus to the Sector, the Government of Punjab has reduced the Stamp Duty rates for transactions of land in Urban areas to 1% from 5%. This step was taken as part of the Tax Relief Package for the last quarter of FY19-20 and is expected to continue for the next FY. Keeping in view the incentive of a lower Stamp Duty rate coupled with the annual growth trajectory the Budget Estimates of Stamp Duty for FY 2020-21 have been pitched at PKR 33.426 billion.

The Department has not been able to achieve the target set at the start of FY19-20 due to general slowdown in the economy whereby sale and purchase of vehicles was 40% lower than the previous year.
