• The Federal Budget 2024-25 proposes higher import taxes.
• Honda bikes could see price hikes due to these tax changes.
• The government aims to boost local manufacturing by raising import duties.

Islamabad – The Federal Budget 2024–25 has proposed significant tax increases on imports, which could result in higher prices for all motor vehicles. This includes Honda bikes such as the Honda CD 70, Honda CG 125, Honda CD 70 Dream, and Pridor.

The federal government has announced higher import duties on essential raw materials like steel, paper products, and spare parts. This move aims to stimulate local manufacturing and assembly of cars and motorcycles in Pakistan.

Additionally, import tax exemptions on luxury vehicles, particularly those valued at $50,000 or more, have been eliminated. These vehicles will now face higher taxes and duties, impacting their market prices.

The government has set a tax collection target of Rs 12,970 billion for the upcoming fiscal year. This goal will be achieved through increased income and sales tax collections, along with higher import duties on luxury items. Efforts to broaden the tax base by including more taxpayers are also part of this strategy.

The anticipated rise in sales tax and import duties on raw materials is expected to raise prices for Honda CD 70 and other motorcycles in the coming months.

Despite fluctuations in the value of the rupee, the Honda CD 70 remains the top-selling motorcycle in Pakistan, surpassing numerous local competitors. However, the increasing prices may pose challenges for prospective buyers looking to purchase the Honda CD 70 and similar models.
