Types of Property Valuation

Before we look at FBR’s valuation of the property, let us look at the types of property valuation in Pakistan and how they differ from each other.

 

DC Valuation Rate

The valuation is called the DC rate and is used for stamp duty purposes. At the DC rate, the property is registered with property regulation authorities.

FBR Valuation Rate

This is the rate at which Withholding Tax is charged. This is charged as per the filer/non-files states of the person.

Market Rate

The property market rate is usually 5-10 times the DC rate and 2-4 times that of the FBR rate.
