dependent variable. It examined the effect of :
• Imposition of luxury tax on imported vehicles
• Sales of locally manufactured vehicles

• Post registration transactions
(On the collection of motor vehicle tax in Punjab Province)
This is a descriptive and exploratory research as this study is based on secondary data and gathered from the
Punjab Annual Budget documents and the reports of Excise and Taxation Department. The results, obtained
from the analysis, are showing significant relation among the sales of motor vehicles, post registration
transaction and collection of motor vehicle tax. It is further extracted that the said relation has also affected on
the imposition of another tax i.e. luxury tax on imported vehicles.
This study concluded that the tax is a subject of federation and its compliance cannot be possible without its
imposition throughout the federation as the motor vehicle is a mobile asset so the tax payer can easily drained
to other provinces. It is further concluded while imposing any new tax the basic cannons / principles / ethics
of taxation and 4-R's [Revenue, Reprising, Re-distribution and Representation] should be observed so the
compliance is possible. Mostly the basic aim of imposition of taxation is to generate or gear up the revenue so
it should be imposed where a large base or big potential is available.
