Car rates are from the Finance Act 2026 and Islamabad Excise's fee schedule; motorcycle rates, which the Act left unchanged, from the Schedule to the Motor Vehicles Taxation Act 1958 as it applies to Islamabad. Taxis, public service vehicles and goods vehicles pay flat yearly amounts that this calculator does not cover.

What the calculator cannot settle

The invoice value. Islamabad Excise publishes no table of values by make and model, and we found no published rule for how the value of an imported, auctioned or older car is fixed. Treat a figure for those as an estimate.
The old Rs 10,000 lifetime amount. Whether an owner who paid it on a small car now owes the new Rs 20,000 is not settled. Ask the department before paying again or deciding not to.
The rest of the bill. Income tax and professional tax are separate items, so what you pay can be more than the token tax alone.

Every rule, with its source, is in the Islamabad token tax 2026 guide.

Common questions

How is Islamabad token tax calculated?

By vehicle type and engine size. A private car up to 1000cc pays Rs 20,000 once for life. From 1001cc to 2000cc it pays 0.25% of its invoice value every year, and above 2000cc 0.35%. Motorcycles pay Rs 1,000, Rs 2,000 or Rs 5,000 once for life, by engine size, and electric vehicles pay none.

What is the token tax on a 1300cc car in Islamabad?

0.25% of its invoice value every year. A hypothetical invoice value of Rs 4,000,000 gives Rs 10,000 a year.

What is the token tax on a 125cc motorcycle in Islamabad?

Rs 1,000, once, for the life of the motorcycle: every motorcycle or scooter up to 200cc pays that.

What is the penalty for late token tax in Islamabad?

Up to twice the unpaid tax, set by statute as a ceiling rather than a fixed charge, and unpaid amounts can be recovered as arrears of land revenue. The "5% a month" figure found online does not come from the law.
