Karachi: A prominent local automobile manufacturer has announced adjustments to the retail prices of its entire vehicle lineup. These changes, which took effect on July 1st, directly reflect the impact of new taxation policies introduced in Pakistan’s Federal Budget for the fiscal year 2025–26. The revised pricing incorporates both an increased Sales Tax rate and a newly implemented “NEV Levy.”
In a communication dispatched to its authorized dealerships, the company clarified that the updated vehicle prices now encompass “FED, Sales Tax, and NEV Levy,” while notably excluding “Advance Income Tax.” The manufacturer was keen to emphasize that this price increment is solely attributable to the rise in government-mandated taxes.
