The federal government has officially approved an increase in the General Sales Tax (GST) on vehicles with engine capacities up to 850cc, elevating it from 12.5% to 18%. This measure directly impacts Suzuki Alto and Suzuki Every, the most popular locally assembled new vehicles available in this segment in Pakistan.

In addition to the GST hike, the government has enacted a new Climate Support Levy (CSL) that ranges from 1-3%, but in Alto and Every case, they’ll get a 1% Climate Support Levy. This tax aims to curb pollution from internal combustion engines (ICE), encouraging consumers toward greener, more sustainable transport options like all-electric vehicles.

With the new GST and CSL now in effect, Suzuki Alto buyers might face an immediate price hike ranging between Rs. 167,861 to Rs. 186,446,  and for Every, it’ll be 163,230 to 166,198 depending on the specific variant. This increase includes both the raised GST rate and the newly implemented CSL.
