How marginal tax works
Pakistan uses a progressive system: income is sliced into bands, and each slice is taxed at the rate of its own band. Example: with annual income of Rs 2,200,000, the first Rs 600,000 is tax free, the next Rs 600,000 is taxed at 5 percent (Rs 30,000), and the last Rs 1,000,000 is taxed at 15 percent (Rs 150,000). Total tax = Rs 180,000. The marginal rate is 15 percent, but the effective rate is only 8.18 percent, because the lower bands are taxed less.
