Pakistan’s non-tax revenue reached Rs3,046 billion in the first quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal year, according to figures released by the Ministry of Finance.
The ministry’s report shows a significant rise in collections from the petroleum levy, which generated Rs371.6 billion from July to September, up from Rs261.68 billion in the same period last year. Additionally, the carbon levy contributed Rs10.19 billion during the quarter.
Other key contributors included profits from the State Bank of Pakistan, which totaled Rs2,428 billion, and passport fees, which amounted to Rs14 billion. Collections from the gas surcharge stood at Rs7.94 billion, while provincial and federal government entities recovered over Rs27 billion in mark-up.
The report also highlights revenue from oil and gas royalties, petroleum levies, and gas development cess. For the full fiscal year, Pakistan aims to collect Rs5,147 billion in non-tax revenue.
Sources said the strong first-quarter performance was driven primarily by higher petroleum prices and improved collection efficiency across government departments.
