4. From Rs. 2,400,001 to Rs. 4,800,000: Rs. 150,000 + 15% of the amount exceeding Rs. 2,400,000

These slabs represent the proposed income tax rates for salaried individuals in Pakistan for the fiscal year 2024-25. The concern expressed by the Pakistan Business Council (PBC) likely stems from the impact of these tax changes on emigration trends among highly skilled professionals, who may seek lower-tax environments elsewhere due to these increased rates.
