Due to the recent imposition of a 25% General Sales Tax (GST) on expensive goods by the federal government of Pakistan, Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) has announced an increase in the price of its cars. A new sales tax notification issued under SRO 297(1)/2023 by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) confirms the tax.
According to IMC, the company is finding it challenging to maintain its current retail selling prices due to economic uncertainty and the highly volatile situation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar. It has therefore been forced to pass some of these effects along to customers.
A Statutory Regulatory Order (S.R.O. 297(I)/2023), issued by the Government of Pakistan in accordance with the Sales Tax Act of 1990, also raises the sales tax rate to 25% on all Completely Knocked Down (CKD) vehicles with an engine capacity of 1400cc and above, with the exception of IMV-I Single Cabin.
