Pakistan Vehicle Tax Calculator 2026-27

A share of what you paid for it, set by engine size. For someone on the Active Taxpayer List in 2026-27 it runs from 0.5% up to 850 cc, through 1.5% for 1,001–1,300 cc and 5% for 1,801–2,000 cc, to 12% above 3,000 cc. So a 1,300 cc car invoiced at Rs. 4,000,000 costs Rs. 60,000. Anyone off the list pays three times as much.

A used car is charged a set amount for its engine-size band rather than a share of the price — nothing up to 850 cc, Rs. 7,500 for 1,001–1,300 cc, Rs. 25,000 for 1,801–2,000 cc, up to Rs. 62,500 above 3,000 cc. That amount then drops 10% for every full year since the car was first registered. A 1,300 cc car two years old costs Rs. 7,500 less 20%, so Rs. 6,000.

No. Section 231B stops the excise office collecting anything on a transfer once the vehicle is more than five years past its first registration in Pakistan. The date in the registration book is what counts, not when the last owner bought it.

Three times as much. Rule 1 of the Tenth Schedule normally adds 100% for anyone off the Active Taxpayer List, but its first proviso singles out vehicles for a 200% increase. So a 1,500 cc car at 2% for a filer is charged at 6% for a non-filer.

It is not a fee you lose. The FBR treats it as income tax you have already paid, so you claim it on your yearly return and it comes off your final bill. If your final bill is lower than what you have paid across the year, the difference comes back as a refund. Keep the excise receipt — you cannot claim it without one.

For a car built or assembled in Pakistan, the invoice price including every duty and tax on it. For an imported car, the value customs assessed plus customs duty, federal excise duty and sales tax. For a car bought at auction, the auction price including duties. Not the resale value and not what you think it is worth.

An electric vehicle has no engine size, so there is no band to put it in. The law sets a single rate of 3% of the price for a vehicle with no engine size worth Rs. 5,000,000 or more, and Rs. 20,000 when one of those changes hands. Below Rs. 5,000,000 no rate is set, so ask your excise office what they will collect.

Nothing in the rate tables. The Finance Act 2026 only amends Part IV of the First Schedule at the property and remittance divisions, so the vehicle bands, the used-car amounts and the yearly charge all carry over from 2025-26. The one edit to Section 231B narrows which older vehicles qualify for the five-year relief at first registration.

Tax years 2023-24 through 2026-27 — the years we can check line by line against the enacted law. The big change in that stretch came on 1 July 2024, when every band became a share of the price. Before that, cars up to 2,000 cc paid set rupee amounts of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 200,000.

Buses, taxis and anything else carrying passengers or goods for hire, agricultural machinery, rickshaws, and any vehicle with an engine of 200 cc or less. The federal government, provincial governments, local governments, foreign diplomats and diplomatic missions do not pay it either.
