The number of women entrepreneurs in Pakistan has increased over the years. The government has also done what it took to promote more female entrepreneurs. Up to 25% tax reduction is now available for women-owned businesses. This article will discuss the details of the 25% reduction and give some significant benefits.
What is the 25% Tax Reduction?
Women-owned businesses are relieved 25% on their income tax and other taxes. To meet the eligibility criteria, the business needs to be registered after July 2021 to be eligible. Secondly, a sole proprietorship company, or AOP, must be 100% owned by women.
This tax benefit would especially benefit new women entrepreneurs. This tax reduction would greatly affect the development and growth of women’s businesses.
How to Apply for the Tax Reduction
To apply for a 25% tax reduction, the women-owned business must register its name on the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and provide the required documents, such as proof of ownership and date of establishment (after July 2021). An online application can be made from the FBR portal. For further information, you can contact the FBR or get professional assistance.
Benefits of the 25% Tax Reduction

With this capital, women can expand their product portfolio and discover new markets, accelerating business growth and success.
