LTO Karachi Achieves Rs3.5T Revenue in FY25

Karachi, July 01, 2025, 06:30 PM PKT — The Large Taxpayers Office (LTO) Karachi has shattered records by collecting Rs3.5 trillion in revenue for FY 2024-25, a stunning 29% growth from Rs2.515 trillion last year, cementing one of the highest annual figures in its history. June 2025 collections soared to Rs449.05 billion, a 48% leap from Rs302.83 billion in June 2024, with a record-breaking Rs184.7 billion hauled in a single day, redefining performance benchmarks.

Revenue breakdown reveals income tax as the top contributor at Rs1.818 trillion, followed by sales tax at Rs1.301 trillion, and federal excise duties at Rs222.2 billion. LTO Karachi officials laud their team’s collaborative effort, attributing this unprecedented success to an enhanced capacity and systematic approach to tax collection.

Web context confirms Karachi’s tax dominance (e.g., 35% of national revenue), while posts found on X reflect pride—some celebrate milestones, others question fairness. Critically, the narrative of “enhanced capacity” may mask underlying pressures—web data hints at enforcement intensity, and X sentiment suggests distrust in equitable distribution, pointing to potential tensions.
