Income Tax Slabs for Salaried Individuals In Federal Budget 2024-25
Aurangzeb mentioned that the slabs for the salaried group will undergo changes, leading to a restructured tax framework. These adjustments are designed to increase government revenue while maintaining an income tax exemption up to Rs0.6 million. However, the new tax rates indicate a higher tax burden on salaried individuals across various income brackets.
