How it works
Your annual token is the sum of two charges:
- Provincial token (MVT): flat by cc, or a percentage of value (Punjab/ICT above 1000cc).
- Federal Section 234 advance income tax: fixed by cc, doubled for non-filers, waived for 10+ year-old vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
What makes up a car's annual token tax?
Two parts: the provincial motor-vehicle tax (MVT) collected by the Excise & Taxation department, and the federal Section 234 advance income tax collected alongside it.
How is Section 234 advance tax calculated?
It's a fixed amount by engine capacity (cc). Non-filers pay double. Vehicles 10 years old or older are exempt from Section 234.
Why is Punjab/ICT token a percentage?
For vehicles above 1000cc, Punjab and Islamabad charge the token as a percentage of the vehicle's invoice value rather than a flat cc-based amount.
Are the provincial figures exact?
Federal Section 234 is well-published. Provincial MVT for Sindh, KPK, Balochistan and ICT are best-available estimates that should be confirmed against each department's latest notification.
Estimate for private cars. Federal Section 234 is well-sourced; provincial token figures may be estimates — verify with your Excise & Taxation department. Motorcycles and commercial vehicles are not modelled.
