Questions people ask

How much FBR tax on a new 1300cc car?

Section 231B(1): 1.5% of the invoice value for a filer, 4.5% for a non-filer. On a Rs 5 million car that is Rs 75,000 against Rs 225,000.

What is the difference between token tax and 234?

Token tax is the provincial motor vehicle tax. Section 234 is FBR income tax that the excise office collects with it; it counts toward your income tax.

What about transferring a used car?

A fixed amount under section 231B(2), 10% less for each year since first registration. Nothing up to 850cc.

Did this change in 2026-27?

FBR’s 231B and 234 tables did not change. Islamabad’s token tax was changed by Finance Act 2026.
