Check the car first: run the registration number through the province’s online vehicle verification and confirm the owner, engine and chassis numbers, and that token tax is paid.
Seller and buyer complete biometric verification — at an Excise office, a designated centre, or (in Islamabad) through the PAK ID app.
Submit the transfer application with the registration book or smart card, both CNIC copies and the sale or transfer letter.
Pay the transfer fee, the FBR advance tax and any unpaid token. In Sindh the car also needs valid third-party insurance.
Collect the new smart card or registration book in the buyer’s name and re-check the record online.
Guide
In Punjab, a car up to 1000cc or a motorcycle sold within ten years of registration pays the lifetime token again — Rs 20,000 for a car, Rs 1,500 for a motorcycle — less 10% for each year since registration. On a 3-year-old Alto that is Rs 14,000, more than the transfer fee itself. See Punjab token tax.
Cars above 1300cc also pay 1% Capital Value Tax on transfer during their first five years, on a value that falls 10% a year. The Excise office assesses the value, so the calculator shows an estimate when you enter the original price.
The federal advance tax on transfer is tripled when the buyer is not on the Active Taxpayers’ List — Rs 22,500 instead of Rs 7,500 for a new 1300cc car. It disappears once the car is ten years past first registration.
We haven’t found Islamabad’s Excise transfer schedule published as text, so we don’t list a figure we can’t source. What we can confirm: the FBR advance tax on transfer is the same as everywhere — Rs 7,500 for a new 1001–1300cc car bought by a filer — biometric verification is done in the PAK ID app, and Islamabad Excise has its own fee calculator on its website.
Unpaid token tax and penalties are collected at transfer, so check the record before handing over money. Our used cars listings show the city of registration so you know which province’s rules apply.
