Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Intensifies Property Tax Crackdown

Officials signal a sustained push to make chronic defaulters settle Urban Immovable Property tax.

Overview

  • The provincial Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department escalated enforcement across multiple districts, shifting from repeated notices to sealing properties and filing legal proceedings.
  • In Nowshera’s Jehangira area, officers sealed several units and recovered about Rs300,000 that was deposited into the government exchequer.
  • In Mardan, an operation led by Excise and Taxation Officer Muhammad Khalid Khan sealed multiple properties and brought in over Rs2.14 million for the treasury.
  • Teams also sealed commercial units in Peshawar’s Karkhano Market and took action in Mansehra over unpaid Urban Immovable Property tax.
  • District officers, including Fawad Iqbal in Nowshera, said the drive will continue across the province and urged owners to clear dues to avoid further legal action and closures.
