Islamabad Vehicle Token Tax: Finance Act 2026 Rates and Categories

Full Article

A 1,500cc private motor vehicle with an invoice value of Rs. 4 million produces an annual base calculation of Rs. 10,000 at 0.25%. That example uses the ICT motor-vehicle table; it is not the Punjab token-tax schedule.

Private motor-vehicle table

Up to 1,000cc: Rs. 20,000 lifetime tax. The 1,001–1,300cc, 1,301–1,500cc and 1,501–2,000cc categories each use 0.25% of invoice value annually. The 2,001–2,500cc and above-2,500cc categories use 0.35% annually.

Commercial use changes the table

Motor cabs have separate annual amounts from Rs. 600 to Rs. 4,200 by engine category. Public-service vehicles use listed per-seat annual amounts. Loading/commercial vehicles use a separate weight-based table. Registration description and licensed use therefore matter.

Before paying

Confirm ICT jurisdiction, vehicle category, engine capacity, invoice value and any outstanding periods with the registration authority. Other taxes or arrears shown on a demand should be identified separately. Do not apply an invoice-value example to a cab merely because its engine capacity matches.
