Punjab Vehicle Tax & Fee Calculator 2024–25
Token tax is an annual vehicle tax collected by the Excise and Taxation Department under the Motor Vehicle Ordinance, 1965. In Punjab, Pakistan, vehicle owners can calculate and pay their token tax online using services like ePay Punjab. The tax amount depends on engine capacity, vehicle type, and whether the owner is a filer or non-filer.
Token tax rates for private and commercial vehicles including motorcycles, cars, and motor cabs have remained stable heading into 2026, and online payment continues to make the process easier, reducing the need to visit Excise offices in person. The Excise Department is also actively promoting its standing 10 percent early-payment rebate this year: pay your full year’s token tax on or before 31st August and the 10 percent discount is applied automatically.

What is token tax in Punjab

How can I pay token tax online in Punjab

Does token tax need to be cleared before a vehicle can be transferred
Yes. Current-year token tax must be cleared before an ownership transfer application is accepted. See our complete Punjab Vehicle Transfer Fee 2026 guide for the full transfer process and fee chart.
Do imported vehicles pay a different token tax
