Knowing PTA taxes is crucial especially if you are about to buy a phone which is not PTA approved or you are coming from abroad with a mobile phone that’s not registered in Pakistan. But sometimes, the PTA tax is even greater than the phone’s value if it’s an old model. So, I am here with the updated PTA taxes on iPhones from the iPhone X to iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Before I show you the taxes, here are some important details you need to know.
What is PTA Tax?
Well, PTA Tax is the tax you pay to be able to use Sim services on the mobile phone in Pakistan. Generally, phones officially sold by brands in Pakistan are already PTA approved. However, imported phones are mostly not registered and if you are about to buy an iPhone, it’s most likely imported. So, you need to check the PTA status of the phone before buying.
If it’s non PTA, you will have to get it approved by paying the taxes. It can be done by CNIC or Passport. But the passport approval method (cheaper) is only for people who have come from abroad recently.
