For example, you might pay:0% on the first R1,000,000 3% on the amount between R1,000,000 and R2,500,000 6% on the amount between R2,500,000 and R7,500,000 8% on any amount above R7,500,000 Exemptions: Some transactions are exempt, like those between spouses or certain trusts.

# 1.*Improving Government Policies for Market Revival*: *Tax Policy Relaxation*: The government should reduce taxes imposed on the real estate sector, such as Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) taxes, stamp duties, etc., to ease property transactions. Lower tax rates can help attract investors back. *Review of Development Charges and Bank Interest Rates: Developers should be restricted from increasing development charges on previous investments, and bank interest rates should also be controlled to make investment feasible for the general public. # 2.*System of Transparency and Accountability*: *Digital Land Records and Transparency*: The government should fully digitize land records to eliminate illegal practices involving land officers. This will not only simplify transactions but also reduce corruption. *Strict Action *: Strict laws should be enacted against dishonest dealers and middlemen, with severe punishments for violators to protect investors and end-users from fraud. # 3. *Steps to Restore Investment by Overseas Pakistanis*: The government should announce special schemes and incentives for overseas Pakistanis, such as tax exemptions, legal protections, and easy financial facilities, to reignite their interest in the real estate sector. *Ease of Repatriating Foreign Exchange*: The process of bringing back profits from investments for overseas Pakistanis should be made easier, enabling them to benefit from their investments. # 4.*Better Coordination Between Developers and Government*: *Establishment of a Regulatory Authority*: A competent regulatory authority should be established to regulate developers' activities and protect investors from excessive charges or defaults in payments. *Incentives for Developers*: The government should offer incentives to developers so they can reduce development charges for old investors and provide discounts for new investments. # 5.*Economic Stability and Financial Facilities*: *Affordable Home Loans*: Easy and affordable loans should be made available through banks, allowing the average person to fulfill their dream of owning a home. *Support for the Construction Industry*: The government needs to work on reducing construction material costs and revising regulations to control construction expenses. # 6.*Steps to Restore Market Reputation*: *Restoring Investor Confidence in the Property Market*, the government should take concrete steps, such as public awareness campaigns and programs to ensure transparency in real estate transactions. # 7.*Use of Modern Technology*: *Creation of Digital Platforms*: Online platforms and e-registration systems for buying and selling should be introduced to make transactions easier & transparent. # 8.*Public Awareness*: The general public and investors should be informed about the current market conditions so they can make better decisions and renew their interest in the market.
