Is the lifetime token tax worth it in Sindh?
For a 1000cc car the lifetime token is Rs 20,000 against Rs 1,500 a year, so it pays for itself after roughly 13 years if yearly rates stay where they are.
How much more does a non-filer pay in Sindh?
On a 1300cc car the yearly difference is Rs 2,500 (Rs 4,500 against Rs 7,000). The extra is FBR's section 234 advance tax, which Excise collects together with the token.
