The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) has collected 23.26 billion rupees in sales tax on services during the first six months of the financial year 2025-26 (July–December), marking a 30 percent increase compared to 17.92 billion rupees collected in the same period last year.
According to KPRA’s media wing, the 5.34 billion rupees growth reflects the expansion of the tax net in the services sector and improved strategic enforcement across the province.
During the first half of the fiscal year, KPRA collected a total of 26.62 billion rupees in revenue, including 23.26 billion rupees from sales tax on services and 3.36 billion rupees under the Infrastructure Development Cess (IDC).

KPRA Director General Fouzia Iqbal praised the performance of the authority’s officers and staff, noting that the significant increase in sales tax collections was the result of effective planning, enforcement, and dedicated efforts by KPRA officials.
