In a significant move to expand the tax net, the federal government has announced that non-filers will no longer be allowed to purchase vehicles under new fiscal measures.
The decision, introduced in the latest budget, is aimed at encouraging more citizens to become tax-compliant and reducing informal economic activity. Officials say the policy will apply across the board — covering cars, motorcycles, and even commercial vehicles.

According to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), this restriction will apply to all individuals who are not listed as active taxpayers. The measure is part of a broader effort to increase documentation in the economy and improve revenue collection.
Analysts believe the move will have a noticeable impact on vehicle sales in the short term but could drive long-term transparency and better tax culture in the country.
