Pakistan continues to waive import taxes on sugar till February 2026.

The deadline has been extended until February 28, 2026, by the government’s decision to prolong the tariff and tax exemption on sugar imports.

The prolongation has been confirmed by a notification from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).

According to reports, the withholding tax has been dropped to 0.25% and the sales tax on sugar imports has been lowered from 18% to just 0.25%.

Only sugar imported via the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) is eligible for this tax break.

The overall tax rate, which was previously roughly 47%, would now be lowered to about 5%, the administration explained. White crystal sugar imports are subject to a lower tax rate under the cabinet’s resolution, and TCP imports are limited to 5 lakh metric tons.
