Islamabad Token Tax Calculator 2026-27 (ICT Excise)
This token tax calculator Islamabad gives the motor vehicle tax on a car or motorcycle registered with the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Excise and Taxation Department. Since the Finance Act 2026 took effect on 1 July 2026, a car above 1000cc pays 0.25% of its invoice value up to 2000cc and 0.35% above it. A car up to 1000cc pays a flat Rs 20,000, which the official schedule marks as a lifetime token.
Excise also collects federal income tax with the token, and the amount depends on engine size and filer status. Enter the engine size, invoice value and filer status to get the token, the federal amount and the total. The token tax calculator Islamabad runs the code below.
Up to 1000cc

How the Token Tax Calculator Islamabad Works
The tool starts with the vehicle type. A motorcycle pays a lifetime token by engine size, and an electric vehicle pays nothing. A car moves on to the engine size check.
Up to 1000cc the tool applies the Rs 20,000 lifetime token. Above that it multiplies the invoice value by 0.25%, or by 0.35% from 2001cc. It then adds the federal income tax for your engine band and doubles it for a non-filer.

The token is the same for filers and non-filers. ICT charges a non-filer twice the federal amount, where Punjab charges three times. The table shows the token and the federal tax together.
Engine size | Token tax | Federal, filer | Federal, non-filer |
|---|---|---|---|
Up to 1000cc | Rs 20,000 lifetime | Rs 10,000 | Rs 20,000 |
1001 to 1199cc | 0.25% of invoice | Rs 1,500 | Rs 3,000 |
1200 to 1299cc | 0.25% of invoice | Rs 1,750 | Rs 3,500 |
1300 to 1499cc | 0.25% of invoice | Rs 2,500 | Rs 5,000 |
1500 to 1599cc | 0.25% of invoice | Rs 3,750 | Rs 7,500 |
1600 to 1999cc | 0.25% of invoice | Rs 4,500 | Rs 9,000 |
2000cc | 0.25% of invoice | Rs 10,000 | Rs 20,000 |
2001cc and above | 0.35% of invoice | Rs 10,000 | Rs 20,000 |
Use the invoice value on the registration record, not the market price. The ICT schedule prints Rs 7,000 for a non-filer at 1500 to 1599cc. This page uses Rs 7,500 because every other row is exactly double, so the printed figure looks like a typo. Check the amount in the app before you pay.
One-Time or Annual Token Tax in Islamabad
The Rs 20,000 token for cars up to 1000cc is a lifetime payment, and cars above 1000cc pay every year. Several guides call the Rs 20,000 annual, but the official ICT fee schedule marks it “LifeTime”. Reading it as yearly would cost a small-car owner Rs 180,000 more over ten years.
The Excise homepage describes the 2026-27 payment for larger cars as the annual token tax. In the app the “Tax Paid Upto” date moves forward by one year when you pay. A small car with a lifetime token should show no yearly renewal, so check that date on your own record.
Vehicle | Token tax | How often |
|---|---|---|
Car up to 1000cc | Rs 20,000 | Lifetime |
Car 1001 to 2000cc | 0.25% of invoice | Yearly |
Car above 2000cc | 0.35% of invoice | Yearly |
Motorcycle up to 200cc | Rs 1,000 | Lifetime |
Motorcycle 201 to 400cc | Rs 2,000 | Lifetime |
Motorcycle above 400cc | Rs 5,000 | Lifetime |
Electric vehicle | Exempt | None |
Motorcycles pay a lifetime token. The schedule lists no federal income tax for them. Cars up to 1000cc pay the lifetime token, and the schedule lists a federal amount of Rs 10,000 for a filer.
Motor Cabs, Goods and Passenger Vehicles
Motor cabs with up to seven seats pay a small yearly token by engine size, not a percentage of invoice value. The rates run from Rs 600 up to 1000cc to Rs 4,200 above 2500cc. The invoice-value system does not apply to them.
Motor cab engine size | Token tax |
|---|---|
Up to 1000cc | Rs 600 |
1001 to 1300cc | Rs 1,000 |
1301 to 1500cc | Rs 1,700 |
1501 to 2000cc | Rs 2,500 |
2001 to 2500cc | Rs 3,400 |
Above 2500cc | Rs 4,200 |
Goods vehicles pay by laden weight, from Rs 500 up to 1,250 kg to Rs 24,000 above 16,000 kg. Passenger vehicles pay by seat, from Rs 350 for 8 to 12 seats to Rs 850 for 52 seats or more. The tool covers private cars and motorcycles only, so read these rows in the Excise schedule.
Token Tax Calculator Islamabad Examples With Interpretation
Six cases cover an 800cc lifetime token, three yearly bands, the 2001cc step and a used-car purchase. Each shows the tax due, with the non-filer total in most. All use the 2026-27 ICT Excise schedule and rounded invoice values.
An 800cc car, lifetime token
The token is Rs 20,000 once. A filer adds Rs 10,000, so the total is Rs 30,000. A non-filer pays Rs 20,000 federal tax and Rs 40,000 in all. Most of a small car’s tax falls due at the start.
A 1,300cc car with a Rs 4,000,000 invoice
The token is 0.25% of the invoice, which is Rs 10,000. A filer adds Rs 2,500 and pays Rs 12,500 a year. A non-filer adds Rs 5,000 and pays Rs 15,000. PakWheels puts the old fixed amount for this band at about Rs 4,000.
A 1,800cc car with a Rs 7,500,000 invoice
The token is Rs 18,750. A filer adds Rs 4,500, so the total is Rs 23,250. A non-filer pays Rs 27,750. The same car in Punjab pays Rs 22,500 in token alone.
A 2,200cc car with a Rs 9,000,000 invoice
At 0.35% the token is Rs 31,500. Add Rs 10,000 and a filer pays Rs 41,500. A non-filer pays Rs 51,500 because the federal part doubles.
Edge Case: 2000cc vs 2001cc in the Token Tax Calculator Islamabad
With a Rs 6,000,000 invoice, a 2,000cc car pays Rs 25,000. A 2,001cc car pays Rs 31,000. One cc moves the token from Rs 15,000 to Rs 21,000. Read the engine size from the registration book.
A used car with an unpaid year
A seller’s record shows a “Tax Paid Upto” date a year old. For a 1,300cc car with a Rs 4,000,000 invoice, the buyer must clear Rs 12,500 for a filer, plus any penalty. Check the date before you pay the seller.
Code Snippet: Token Tax Calculator Islamabad in JavaScript
The function keeps every rate in a constant, so a budget change needs one edit. It rounds the token to the nearest rupee and returns zero for an electric vehicle. It does not cover motor cabs, goods or passenger vehicles.
// Islamabad (ICT) token tax, 2026-27 (ICT Excise fee schedule).
// Private cars: Rs 20,000 lifetime up to 1000cc, 0.25% of invoice to 2000cc, 0.35% above.
const rs = (n) => Math.round(n);
// Federal income tax collected with the token: [max cc, filer Rs]. ICT non-filers pay 2x.
const FILER_TAX = [[1000, 10000], [1199, 1500], [1299, 1750], [1499, 2500], [1599, 3750], [1999, 4500], [Infinity, 10000]];
const NON_FILER = 2;
// Motorcycles pay a lifetime token by engine size.
const BIKE = [[200, 1000], [400, 2000], [Infinity, 5000]];
function carTokenTax({ cc, invoice = 0, filer = true, electric = false }) {
if (electric) return { token: 0, federal: 0, total: 0, lifetime: false };
const lifetime = cc <= 1000;
const token = lifetime ? 20000 : rs(invoice * (cc <= 2000 ? 0.0025 : 0.0035));
const base = FILER_TAX.find(([max]) => cc <= max)[1];
const federal = filer ? base : base * NON_FILER;
return { token, federal, total: token + federal, lifetime };
}
const bikeTokenTax = (cc) => BIKE.find(([max]) => cc <= max)[1];
// carTokenTax({ cc: 1300, invoice: 4000000 }).total -> 12500
// carTokenTax({ cc: 2200, invoice: 9000000, filer: false }).total -> 51500The output is an estimate, not an assessment. Arrears and penalties are not included. The app shows the final amount.
How to Pay Islamabad Token Tax Online
- 1Sign in
Open the PAK App and sign in. The app works only for smart card holders.
- 2Find the payment
Open the Federal tab, choose Excise and Taxation, then Pay Token and Challan Fee.
- 3Check the breakdown
Enter the registration number and compare the breakdown with this calculator.
- 4Pay the PSID
Choose 1Link, pay the PSID, then check that "Tax Paid Upto" has moved forward.
After you run the numbers, pay through the PAK App or at the Excise office in Sector H-9. In the app, sign in, open the Federal tab and choose Excise and Taxation, then Pay Token and Challan Fee. Enter the registration number, review the breakdown and choose 1Link to get a PSID.
Pay the PSID through mobile banking, an ATM or internet banking, then check that the “Tax Paid Upto” date has moved forward. The app works only for smart card holders, so an old registration book needs an Excise visit first. The office opens Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The 1 October deadline and penalties
The Excise homepage asked owners to pay the annual token before 1 October, or a penalty applies, and offered a 10% rebate until 31 July 2026. Both have passed, so a payment now carries a penalty and no rebate. No penalty rate was found; the app shows it separately.
The same page says Excise cancelled vehicles of tax defaulters up to 2015 in its system. Unpaid dues stay with the vehicle and surface at transfer, verification and resale. Clear them before you buy a used car.
Using a Token Tax Calculator Islamabad Safely: Official Channels Only
The Excise homepage warns that only its own website and the PAK App are official, and that other sources are illegal. Some guides still name the City Islamabad App and the ONE App, so check the current channel on the Excise site. Never pay a PSID that shows another registration number.
Agents who offer to cut the invoice value or skip a fine are asking for a false record. Keep the paid challan, because it is your proof at verification and transfer. Do not type a CNIC or card number into any online calculator.
Common Token Tax Calculator Islamabad Errors
Most gaps between a calculator and the PAK App come from one input. Check the invoice value and the engine band first. Rates are rarely the cause.
Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
Total far below the app | Invoice value left out | Enter the recorded invoice value |
Small car billed Rs 20,000 again | Lifetime token read as yearly | Check the “Tax Paid Upto” date |
Total above the app | Non-filer selected | Check the Active Taxpayer List |
Old car taxed on its low market value | Market price assumed | The tax follows the recorded invoice value |
A difference of a few thousand rupees usually means the Excise record holds another invoice value. Ask the department to correct the record. Do not pay a different figure.
Token Tax Calculator Islamabad Rates: This Year vs Last Year
The Finance Act 2026 replaced fixed amounts by engine size with a percentage of invoice value for most cars. Officials told the National Assembly committee that ICT rates had stood still for about seven years. The jump is largest for cheap engines with high invoice values.
Car | New token | Old token |
|---|---|---|
Honda City 1.2L (1199cc) | Rs 11,917 | Rs 1,500 |
Changan Alsvin (1370cc) | Rs 9,661 | Rs 4,000 |
Jetour Dashing (1498cc) | Rs 21,237 | Rs 4,000 |
Toyota Corolla Altis Grande 1.8 (1798cc) | Rs 19,530 | Rs 5,000 |
These figures come from a PakWheels comparison that used current invoice prices. Your own bill depends on the invoice value recorded for your car. The token tax calculator Islamabad asks for that number too.
What the Token Tax Calculator Islamabad Leaves Out
The tool covers token tax and federal income tax only. A new registration adds a registration fee of 1%, 2% or 4% of vehicle value by engine band, and electric vehicles are exempt. Transfer, Capital Value Tax and late-registration charges are separate.
Charge | Rate in the ICT schedule |
|---|---|
Registration fee | 1% up to 1000cc, 2% to 2000cc, 4% above |
Transfer of ownership | Rs 2,700 up to 1000cc, Rs 5,500 to 1800cc, Rs 11,000 above |
Capital Value Tax | 1% of vehicle value above 1300cc |
Late registration, 61 to 120 days | Rs 60,000 up to 1000cc, Rs 120,000 to 2000cc |
Late registration is the costly one. The schedule starts the fine at the 61st day, and it rises with engine size and delay. Register the car inside the window, and use the Excise fee calculator for the full cost. For an imported car, the car import duty calculator covers the duty before registration.
Islamabad vs Punjab: Token Tax Compared
For the same invoice value, Islamabad charges less token tax than Punjab. Its percentages are 0.25% and 0.35%, against 0.3% and 0.4% in Punjab. The table shows the token only.
Car and invoice | Islamabad | Punjab |
|---|---|---|
1,300cc, Rs 4.5 million | Rs 11,250 | Rs 13,500 |
1,800cc, Rs 7.5 million | Rs 18,750 | Rs 22,500 |
2,200cc, Rs 9 million | Rs 31,500 | Rs 36,000 |
Punjab also charges Rs 20,000 for cars up to 1000cc. Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan use fixed amounts instead. The token tax calculator covers all five jurisdictions, and the Punjab token tax calculator covers Lahore.
The federal part also differs for non-filers. ICT doubles the filer amount, and Punjab triples it. A 1,300cc non-filer pays Rs 5,000 federal tax in Islamabad and Rs 7,500 in Punjab. A calculator that copies Punjab’s multiplier overstates the Islamabad bill.
Token Tax Calculator Islamabad FAQs
Seven answers follow, each opening with the direct answer. They rest on the ICT Excise schedule, the homepage notices and Finance Act 2026 coverage. Where guides disagree, the official schedule decides.
Conclusion
The token tax calculator Islamabad needs the engine size, the invoice value and your filer status. A filer with a 1,300cc car and a Rs 4,000,000 invoice pays Rs 12,500 a year, and an 800cc car pays Rs 30,000 once. Compare the result with the PAK App breakdown before you pay.
Rates change each July, so run the calculator again after every budget and Finance Act. For other provinces, use the token tax calculator. The Pakistan tax calculators hub lists the other taxes.
