KIA increases car prices after imposition of new taxes

Lucky Motor Corporation (LMC) has increased the prices of KIA cars after imposition of new taxes and devaluation of Pakistani Rupee (PKR) against US Dollar.

The federal cabinet approved the Finance Supplementary Bill 2023 allowing increase in general sales tax to 18 per cent and additional taxes on luxury items as part of the reforms related to the International Monetary Fund’s Ninth Review.

The uncertain economic situation and devaluation of local currency has made it extremely difficult for Lucky Motors to hold the current retail selling prices and therefore, the company has decided to pass on the impact to the market.
