The federal government has imposed a 200 percent advance tax on the purchase of cars with engine displacement over 1600cc for non-filers.

This decision is likely to impact the demand for several cars in Pakistan. Here’s how much advance tax the customers will have to pay for locally assembled ‘luxury cars’:

Models	Engine Displacement (Cubic Capacity)	Price (Rs.)	Previous Advance Tax for Non-Filers (Rs.)	New Advance Tax for Non-Filers (Rs.)
Toyota Corolla Altis Grande	<1800cc	4,499,000-4,859,000	150,000	300,000
Hyundai Elantra GLS	<2000c	4,949,000	200,000	400,000
Hyundai Tucson	<2000cc	5,799,000-6,299,000	200,000	400,000
Hyundai Sonata 2.0	<2000cc	6,999,000	200,000	400,000
DFSK Glory 1.8 CVT	<1800cc	5,159,000	150,000	300,000
Kia Sportage	<2000cc	5,300,000-6,300,000	200,000	400,000
BAIC BJ40	>2000cc	8,199,000	200,000	400,000
Hyundai Sonata 2.5	<2500cc	7,849,000	300,000	600,000
Kia Sorento	<2400cc	6,836,000-7,499,000	300,000	600,000
Toyota Fortuner	2700-2800cc	9,959,000-12,679,000	400,000	800,000
Toyota Hilux	<2800cc	7,359,000-9,729,000	400,000	800,000
Isuzu D-Max V-Cross	3000cc	6,600,000-6,960,000	400,000	800,000
Kia Sorento V6	<3500cc	7,499,000	450,000	900,000

Although this tax will have no impact on the price tags directly, it will increase the overall purchasing cost of these cars. It will also aid the government in collecting more taxes from people with high purchasing power and bring them into the tax net.

The government seeks to continue with the auto sector’s current progress, along with encouraging the industry to completely indigenize the production of vehicles and their parts.
