What happens if I don't pay token tax for 2 years?

Accumulating surcharges (5% per month) on both years. Excise database flags. Fitness certificate renewal blocked. Registration transfer impossible until all outstanding tax plus surcharges are paid. At police checkpoints with registration scanning equipment, you may receive a notice or fine.

How do I verify my token tax payment status?

Punjab: punjab-excise.punjab.gov.pk — enter your vehicle registration number to see payment status. Always verify payment is recorded in the system within 48 hours of making payment. Keep digital copies of payment receipts for at least 5 years.

Pakistan Vehicle Token Tax Calculator 2026 — All Provinces — Free Online Calculator

Pakistan's vehicle token tax is an annual provincial levy on every registered motor vehicle in the country. Despite being one of Pakistan's most widely encountered taxes, most vehicle owners don't know the exact amount they owe until they receive a demand notice or attempt online payment. The tax varies by province, engine capacity, vehicle age, fuel type, and — most importantly — whether you are on the FBR's Active Taxpayer List. ## Provincial Rate Structure Punjab: 1001-1300cc cars = Rs. 2,500/year (filer rate). 1301-1600cc = Rs. 4,000. 1601-2000cc = Rs. 6,000. 2001-2500cc = Rs. 8,000. Above 2500cc = Rs. 12,000-20,000. Motorcycles under 150cc = Rs. 500; 150-250cc = Rs. 1,000; above 250cc = Rs. 1,500. Sindh, KPK, and Balochistan have slightly lower rates than Punjab. ## The 100% Non-Filer Surcharge Non-filers pay 100% surcharge in Punjab — effectively double the standard rate. For a household with a 1300cc car and motorcycle: ATL filer pays Rs. 3,000/year; non-filer pays Rs. 6,000/year. Filing even a nil FBR return (15-30 minutes using TaxAsaan app, completely free) places you on the ATL and eliminates all non-filer surcharges. ## EV Discount, Age Surcharge, and Online Payment Punjab offers 50% EV discount on token tax for electric vehicles registered under the national EV policy — a recurring annual saving. Vehicles older than 10 years pay a 20% age surcharge on the base token tax. Online payment: Punjab = eazy.punjab.gov.pk; Sindh = sindh-excise.gos.pk; KPK = kpexcise.gov.pk. Also payable through JazzCash and Easypaisa. Payment reflects in the provincial excise database within 24-48 hours. Download and save the digital receipt. Late payment attracts 5% per month surcharge. Outstanding token tax blocks fitness certificate renewal and vehicle registration transfer until cleared.
