Token tax is an annual vehicle tax collected by the Excise and Taxation Department Punjab under the Motor Vehicle Ordinance, 1965. Every registered vehicle owner in Punjab must pay it each year. The exact amount depends on engine capacity, vehicle type, and whether the owner is a filer or non-filer.
Online payment through ePay Punjab is now the standard method — no office visit required. The Excise Department’s standing 10 percent early-payment rebate applies when the full year’s token tax is paid on or before 31st August.

💡Example: If your annual token tax is PKR 20,000 — paying before 31st August saves you PKR 2,000. You pay PKR 18,000 instead. The rebate is applied automatically when you pay through ePay Punjab.
