Budget FY26: PSX proposes to resolve provincial jurisdiction differences over collection of sales tax on services at CCI
The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has urged the federal and provincial governments to raise the issue of jurisdiction differences among provinces over the collection of sales tax on services at the Council of Common Interest (CCI), anticipating the credible body would amicably device 'a (revenue) sharing formula for each province' to settle the grave matter of concern. The bourse said that provincial sales tax is applicable on services including fund and assets management. 'The wordings of the laws enacted by the Sindh Revenue Board, Punjab Revenue Authority and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority are overlapping as the law governing Sindh Sales Tax enacted by Sindh Revenue Board states that sales tax is to be provided where business is registered while Punjab Sales Tax on Services Act, 2012 and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Finance Act 2013 states that the province where taxable services are provided or rendered by the service provider is entitled to levy, charge and collect sales tax on such services. 'We (PSX) request that this issue, being of equal relevance to all the provinces and affecting the entire services sector, may be placed on the agenda of the Council of Common Interests so that a sharing formula for each province can be devised to resolve this matter,' the set of budget proposals reads,' the bourse statement said. The three provinces collect sales tax on services at the standard rates in the range of 15-16% of the value of the services rendered. But in the case of the telecommunication services, some provinces charge the tax at the rate of 19.5%. The management of the stock market highlighted the issue in its set of budget proposals for FY26 already sent to the Ministry of Finance, as the dispute over collection of the sales tax on services is 'affecting the entire services sector' including the firms listed at PSX. The stock market facilitated trade in shares of around 550 companies having a total market capitalisation of Rs14.73 trillion (around $52 billion, or 12.7% of Pakistan's gross domestic product (GDP) of FY25), it was learnt. Elimination of minimum tax recommended PSX further requested that 'minimum tax regime should be eliminated from listed companies as such companies are strongly compliant towards specific documentation requirements of various statutes'. It elaborated that the minimum tax on listed companies discourages documentation of the economy. Listed firms already meet extensive regulatory requirements, including audits, tax filings, advance tax payments, and withholding statements, ensuring their accounts align with statutory norms and build trust with authorities. 'However, the levy of minimum tax puts a downward impact on the earnings of listed companies despite having current and brought forward losses.' PSX also proposed enhancing tax credit for listed small and medium enterprises (SME), as they contribute immensely to Pakistan's employment, exports and GDP growth, and provide 80% of all employment in the country. 'In order to encourage small and medium enterprises to get listed on the SME Board, it is proposed that the rate of tax for such listed SME companies be permanently lowered by giving tax credit of 50% of tax payable for 3 to 4 years of listing and then onwards 20% of the tax payable,' it proposed. Besides, it requested to align rates of capital gains tax (CGT) on disposal/sale of securities with rates of CGT on sale of immovable property, align rates of CGT for all derivatives and future contracts traded on PSX with future commodity contracts traded on Pakistan Mercantile Exchange (PMEX), document real estate sector and promote Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and proposed tax relief for foreign investment flows at PSX. To encourage more companies to get listed at PSX, it urged the government to expedite digitisation of the payment system and documentation of the economy through deploying the technology, as 'estimates of the cash-based economy range from 35% to 50% of GDP'.

KSE-100 retreats on budget jitters, taxes
Listen to article The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a volatile session on Thursday, with the benchmark KSE-100 index retreating after hitting record highs a day earlier. Investor sentiment turned cautious due to concerns about stringent conditions linked to a new International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, including proposed enforcement of agriculture income tax and the IMF's opposition to provincial energy subsidies. Adding to the bearish outlook were fears of aggressive fiscal measures in the upcoming FY26 federal budget. These include possible new taxes on banking and savings income, along with anticipated hikes in petroleum levies on petrol and diesel. A weakening rupee and a 10% year-on-year (YoY) decline in exports for May also dampened investor confidence. Arif Habib Corporation Managing Director Ahsan Mehanti commented that the market declined following reports of IMF pressure for strict enforcement of agriculture taxation and improved tax collection mechanisms, while resisting provincial subsidies on power. "Expectations of higher taxes on banking and savings, increased petroleum levies, rupee instability, and a sharp YoY decline in exports all weighed on sentiment," he said. The KSE-100 index closed at 121,641 points, down 157.87 points or 0.13% from the previous day. Despite the decline, the market remained within a broad range throughout the session, with an intra-day high of +483 points and a low of -281 points, according to Topline Securities. The firm noted that the range-bound activity came ahead of the long Eid holidays, following a recent rally. Topline also highlighted the most traded companies by value, with Unity Foods leading at Rs1.67 billion, followed by Engro Holdings (Rs1.24 billion), K-Electric (Rs1.03 billion), Searle Company (Rs847 million), and TRG Pakistan (Rs785 million). Arif Habib Limited (AHL) noted that despite the minor setback, the week had remained positive overall, with the market touching all-time highs. Engro Holdings (+3.24%), Pakgen Power (+10.0%), and Service Industries (+5.49%) contributed to the index's gains. On the downside, Meezan Bank (-2.11%), Systems Ltd (-1.68%), and Fauji Fertilizer (-0.5%) were key laggards. In broader developments, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia on June 5-6 to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for talks on bilateral cooperation, regional security, and economic collaboration. Meanwhile, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) stated in a corporate briefing that its capital expenditure (capex) is expected to hover around Rs30 billion annually over the coming years. Analysts projected 120,000 points to act as a post-Eid base level for the KSE-100, with potential to move higher provided macroeconomic stability continues. KTrade Securities echoed similar views in its market wrap, observing that despite the volatility, trading activity remained strong with volume reaching 854 million shares. Leading the volume chart were K-Electric (179 million shares), Unity Foods (62 million), and WorldCall Telecom (52 million). However, slight profit-taking was noted in banking, cement, and oil and gas sectors. KTrade added that investors are expected to stay cautious in the lead-up to the federal budget announcement on June 10, 2025. JS Global analyst Mubashir Anis Naviwala reported that the index had opened positively and surged to a new intra-day high of 122,281, but profit-taking dragged it down by the close. Notable trading activity was seen in oil & gas, fertiliser, power, and banking sectors. A total of 478 companies' shares were traded. Among them, 217 closed higher, 208 declined, and 53 remained unchanged. K-Electric was the volume leader, gaining Rs0.42 to close at Rs5.83. It was followed by Unity Foods, which rose Rs0.75 to close at Rs26.89, and WorldCall Telecom, which added Rs0.05 to close at Rs1.42. Foreign investors sold shares worth Rs271.6 million, according to the National Clearing Company.

PSX slumps
KARACHI: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed a lackluster trading session on Thursday, with key indices posting marginal losses amidst fluctuating investor sentiment. The benchmark KSE-100 Index slightly declined by 157.87 points or 0.13 percent to close at 121,641 points on Thursday down from 121,799 points on Wednesday. The index remained volatile throughout the session, touching an intraday high of 122,281.58 points and a low of 121,517.90 points. On Thursday, the BRIndex100 also concluded the session on a negative note, down by 51.16 points or 0.39 percent to close at 13,034.25 points. The index recorded a healthy trading volume of 724.30 million shares. In addition, the BRIndex30 also ended in the red, losing 65.42 points or 0.17 percent to settle at 38,027.81 points, with a turnover of 455.93 million shares. Analysts argued that the volatile price action was largely driven by selective profit-taking, as investors adopted a cautious stance amid lingering economic uncertainties and anticipation surrounding upcoming macroeconomic announcements. According to JS Global, the market commenced Thursday's session on a positive note, rallying to an intraday high of 122,281 points on the back of early bullish sentiment and aggressive buying in select sectors. However, the upward momentum proved short-lived as profit-taking at higher levels triggered a pullback, ultimately dragging the benchmark KSE-100 Index down to close at 121,641 points, marking a decline of 158 points. Market participation improved on Thursday, with overall traded volumes rose to 854.61 million shares, up from 710.59 million shares recorded in the previous session. Despite the surge in activity, the daily traded value contracted sharply to Rs 25.79 billion, compared to Rs 35.22 billion a day earlier, indicating a shift towards lower-priced stocks and speculative counters. Meanwhile, the market capitalization remained largely range-bound, declining by Rs 21 billion to settle at Rs 14.728 trillion, against Rs 14.749 trillion in the prior session. Among the active stocks in the Ready Market, K-Electric Limited led the volumes with 179.67 million shares to close at PKR 5.83. Unity Foods Ltd and WorldCall Telecom followed with turnovers of 62.90 million and 52.37 million shares respectively with the closing rates of 26.89 and Rs 1.42. Among the top gainers, Rafhan Maize Products saw a sharp rise of Rs 114.29, closing at Rs 9,855.72, while Pakistan Engineering Company Limited gained Rs 81.93 to settle at Rs 901.23. On the other hand, the major losers of the day included PIA Holding Company LimitedB, which dropped by a hefty Rs 3,198.89 to close at Rs 28,789.98, and Khyber Textile Mills Limited, which fell by Rs 303.91 to finish at Rs 2,735.17. Meanwhile, BR Automobile Assembler Index closed at 21,015.36 points with a net negative change of 69.29 points or 0.33 percent with the total turnover remaining 3.772 million shares. BR Cement Index lost 72.05 points or 0.7 percent to settle at 10,242.24 points with a total turnover of 63.76 million. BR Commercial Banks Index closed at 36,217.98 points down by 253.68 points or 0.7 percent with a total turnover of 66.835 million shares. Meanwhile, BR Power Generation and Distribution Index ended at 21,454.69 points with a net positive change of 291 points or 1.38 percent with total turnover of 185.760 million shares. BR Oil & Gas Index closed at 11,542.23 points with a net negative change of 68.79 points or 0.59 percent on 26.536 million shares turnover. While BR Technology & Communication Index finished at 3,002.81 points marking a positive change of 34.17 points or 1.15 percent, with a total turnover of 96.430 million shares. Market analysts attributed the day's volatility to cautious investor sentiment ahead of key economic data releases and the upcoming federal budget, both of which are expected to steer market direction in the coming sessions. The Topline Securities noted that following a recent buying spree, the market remained range-bound on Thursday as investors preferred to adopt a wait-and-see approach ahead of the long Eid weekend.
