  "textContent": "ISLAMABAD: The Federal Constitutional Court on Thursday struck down Section 7E of the Income Tax Ordinance, declaring the provision unconstitutional and dismissing appeals filed by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) seeking its restoration.\n\nFCC Chief Justice Aminuddin Khan read out the short order, annulling all actions taken under the provision.\n\nSection 7E had imposed tax on deemed income from immovable properties, including unused plots, and had faced legal challenges in multiple high courts across the country.\n\nThe Peshawar, Balochistan and Sindh high courts had earlier declared the provision void, while the Islamabad and Lahore high courts had upheld it as constitutional.\n\nThe constitutional court allowed appeals filed by citizens against the Islamabad and Lahore high courts’ rulings, ultimately striking down the law.\n\nThe verdict had been reserved on April 30.\n\nThe decision is expected to provide relief to Pakistan’s real estate sector.\n\nThe post FBR loses appeal as court scraps Section 7E tax rule appeared first on HUM News English.",
