Frequently Asked Questions
How is CGT calculated on PSX?
Capital Gain = (Sell Price − Buy Price) × Quantity. Tax = Capital Gain × applicable rate. NCCPL deducts it automatically at settlement.
Does holding period still matter?
For shares acquired on or after 1 July 2025, no — a flat 15% applies regardless of holding period or filer status. For older acquisitions, the regressive holding-period slabs still apply.
What if I made a loss?
No CGT is charged on a capital loss (gain ≤ 0). However, you must still file your annual return to stay compliant.
Is CGT different from dividend tax?
Yes. CGT applies when you sell shares at a profit. Dividend tax (15% filer / 30% non-filer) applies when a company pays you dividends. Try our Dividend Income Calculator.
