Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) continued discussions on the final day of economic review talks, with no decision yet on whether the country’s tax collection target for the current fiscal year will be adjusted.

Sources told ProPakistani that the IMF has not yet approved any reduction to the tax target set for the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).

Virtual meetings between Pakistan’s economic team and the IMF delegation were ongoing, focusing on the nation’s macroeconomic situation and evaluating potential fiscal measures for the upcoming federal budget.

According to sources, proposals aimed at providing relief to the salaried class are expected to be discussed in detail during the concluding round of negotiations.

The potential elimination of the super tax is also under consideration, though any such move will require the IMF’s approval. Officials are reviewing proposals to reduce taxes for corporations, high-income individuals, and property income as part of broader fiscal discussions.

A joint statement from the Ministry of Finance and the IMF is expected once the talks are concluded, outlining any agreed-upon measures and decisions.
