The Sindh Agricultural Income Tax Bill 2025 has been approved by the Sindh Cabinet and will take effect in January 2025. However, the livestock industry is not covered by the new tax structure.

A cabinet meeting convened by the chief minister of Sindh decided that the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB), rather than the Board of Revenue, would be in charge of collecting agricultural income tax.

A minimum farm income tax of 1% and a maximum of 10% have also been established by the government. It has also introduced penalties for those who conceal cultivated land and agreed to allow adjustments in case of natural disasters affecting agricultural production.
