My early understanding of the budget and its impact on mutual funds. 1) dividend derived from mutual funds, will be taxed @25% which was 15% previously. The only benefit for corporate investors is exemption on "profit on debt" since both CGT and WHT will be charged @ 25% 2) income derived from debt and over PKR 5MN in a year, will be taxed up to 45% (normal taxation) which was previously 35% 3) Govt hasn't changed the treatment of CGT to normal tax which is a positive sign for the market. So the CGT on mutual funds will remain intact and the only option for investors to avoid normal taxation. However, the new proposed CGT on individuals is 15% subject to conditions and/or otherwise 10%. 4) CGT for non fillers is 45%. #budget #assetmanagement #CGT #WHT

So as an investment avenue, has mutual funds lost its charm in comparison to NSS or bank deposits in savings account?

If the investment exceeds 5.6m on profit of debt then it would increase to 45% otherwise it is 35% if it's exceed 5m
