The amount of the fixed one-time tax varies with the engine capacity of the car ranging from PKR 25,000 for cars with engine displacement of 1000cc to 1300cc going all the way up to PKR 300,000 for 2500cc imported vehicles.

Furthermore, the tax will not apply to the vehicles owned by federal and provincial governments of the country. Also according to Punjab’s finance bill for 2016-17, the government reserves the right to exempt any class of cars from the tax. In a nutshell, this tax looks to be aimed at discouraging the import of used cars to foster the growth of the local automotive industry through Auto Development Policy (2016-21).

    Down with the Punjab Govt. for the taxing the middle class which is already crushed under load of multiple and virtually non ending string of taxes. This is anti middle class step and we should stand up against it.

    All Governments till now in Pakistan liked its citizens to use old used specially cars which have become kabari. Whereas other nations promote their industry to make cheap and cheap cars with good features while for ordinary people of Pakistan Gadda Garhi is left. Other Nations dump old cars while in Pakistan we use 50’s, 60’s,70’s,80’s,90’s model cars. Our technicians even change their body parts for us to use them because we are the only Nation left in this world where getting a cheap New CAR is IMPOSSIBLE. Why not we make donkey cars for our use. May be by this method our Governments get ASHAMED. But they have no shame left… Ordinary people of Pakistan can only get a new car in HEAVENs and not in their lives.

  25. German Ab says
