What car registration costs in Pakistan
The cost to register a car is made up of a provincial registration fee (a percentage of the vehicle's value) plus FBR advance income tax under section 231B, which depends on engine capacity and whether you are a filer or non-filer. The example below is for a 1300–1600cc car worth PKR 4,000,000 registered in Punjab.
| Item | Filer | Non-filer |
|---|---|---|
| Provincial registration fee | PKR 80,000 | PKR 80,000 |
| FBR advance tax (231B) | PKR 50,000 | PKR 150,000 |
| Estimated total | PKR 130,000 | PKR 230,000 |
Filer vs non-filer and province
Becoming a filer can cut the advance tax on registration substantially — see the filer vs non-filer calculator. Costs also differ by province, so choose your province in the car registration tax calculator. For annual running cost, see token tax examples or the Vehicle Calculators Pakistan hub.
