Complete Guide to Pakistan Vehicle Token Tax & Excise Tariffs (2025-2026)
Motor vehicle taxation in Pakistan is governed under a dual jurisdiction system: the provincial Excise, Taxation, and Narcotics Control departments collect the Motor Vehicle Tax (MVT), while the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) mandates the collection of Advance Withholding Tax under Section 234 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Failure to clear annual token tax by the official June 30 / August 31 deadlines results in graduated late fee penalties ranging from 10% to 100% of the MVT, along with traffic police vehicle impoundment risks during regional road checks.

Understanding the Luxury Vehicle Invoice-Based Tax
Under the landmark amendments enacted in the Federal Finance Acts, passenger cars and luxury SUVs featuring engine displacement greater than 2000cc (such as Toyota Fortuner, Prado, Land Cruiser, and luxury German sedans) are no longer taxed solely on fixed engine cubic centimeters.
Instead, Section 234 mandates advance income tax as an ad-valorem percentage of either the original ex-factory invoice value (for locally assembled CKD units) or the customs import valuation (for imported CBU vehicles). Active filers pay approximately 1% to 3% of the invoice value, whereas non-filers incur penalties reaching up to 6% to 10% annually or upon initial registration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is vehicle token tax calculated in Pakistan for 2025-2026?
Total vehicle token tax in Pakistan consists of three distinct components: (1) Provincial Motor Vehicle Tax (MVT) determined by engine capacity (CC), (2) Federal Withholding Tax (WHT Section 234) determined by FBR filer status, and (3) Provincial Professional / Education Cess. Vehicles above 2000cc now face an additional luxury percentage levy based on vehicle invoice value.
What is the penalty for Non-Filers paying vehicle token tax?
Under FBR Section 234 of the Income Tax Ordinance, non-filers are penalized with double (100% higher) advance income tax rates compared to active tax filers on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL). For example, on a 1300cc car, a filer pays ₨ 3,000 WHT whereas a non-filer pays ₨ 6,000 WHT.
Can I pay lifetime token tax for cars above 1000cc?
No. In Punjab, Sindh, and Islamabad, lifetime token tax is only applicable to motorbikes and passenger cars with engine displacement up to 1000cc (such as Suzuki Alto, Cultus, WagonR, and Daihatsu Mira). Vehicles exceeding 1000cc must pay Motor Vehicle Tax annually.
How do I pay vehicle token tax online without visiting the Excise office?
You can generate a 17-digit PSID challan via the ePay Punjab app, Sindh e-Payment portal, or Islamabad City app. Once generated, enter the PSID into your online banking app, JazzCash, or Easypaisa under the 'Government Taxes / Excise' bill payment category to pay instantly and update the excise database within minutes.
What are the rules for Electric Vehicles (EVs) regarding token tax?
Under national EV policy and provincial excise concessions, pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) receive significant reductions in annual Motor Vehicle Tax, often charged at nominal flat rates (₨ 1,000 to ₨ 3,000 depending on motor kW) compared to equivalent internal combustion luxury vehicles.
