Calculate token tax

How is token tax calculated in 2026-27?

It depends on the province. Punjab charges 0.3% of the invoice value a year for 1001–2000cc cars and 0.4% above. Islamabad charges 0.25% and 0.35%. Sindh charges a fixed amount by engine size, from Rs 1,500 to Rs 7,000 a year. Cars up to 1000cc pay Rs 20,000 once in all three.

What is included in the token tax amount?

The provincial motor vehicle tax, plus advance income tax under section 234 collected by Excise for FBR. Punjab also adds Rs 200 professional tax. Arrears and late-payment fines are extra.

Which invoice value should I enter?

The price on the car's purchase invoice, the value Excise has on record for it. Your Excise bill on MTMIS (Punjab) or the Islamabad Excise website shows the exact amount.

Do non-filers pay more?

Only the income tax part. Section 234 income tax is doubled for people who are not on the Active Taxpayer List. The provincial token tax is the same.

Is there income tax on old cars?

No. Section 234(2A) stops the advance income tax on cars used in Pakistan for more than 10 years. The token tax still applies.

What about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan?

They are not in this calculator yet. Check with the Excise department of your province.
