How does the table above calculate taxes?

For every cell phone, these are the various taxes that you will be liable to pay if you are importing a phone through Ali Express or any eCommerce website online.

1. Regulatory Duty (Based on phone prices in USD)

  • If $1 to $30 = PKR 180
  • If $30 to $100 = PKR 1800
  • If $100 to $200 = PKR 2700
  • If $200 to $350 = PKR 3600
  • If $350 to $500 = PKR 10500
  • If $500+ = PKR 18500

2. Sales Tax (Based on phone prices in USD)

  • If $1 to $30 = PKR 150
  • If $30 to $100 = PKR 1470
  • If $100 to $200 = PKR 1870
  • If $200 to $350 = PKR 1930
  • If $350 to $500 = PKR 6000
  • If $500+ = PKR 10300

3. WHT – Withholding Tax

  • If $1 to $30 = PKR 70
  • If $30 to $100 = PKR xx
  • If $100 to $200 = PKR 930
  • If $200 to $350 = PKR 970
  • If $350 to $500 = PKR 3000
  • If $500+ = PKR 5200

4. IT Duty = 9%

5. Mobile Levy (based on phone prices in PKR)

if cell phone value is PKR 10,000 to 40,000 = mobile levy will be PKR 1000

If PKR 40,000 to 80,000 = PKR 3000

If Over PKR 80,000 = PKR 5000

6. Provincial Tax = 0.9%

Add the above values and you will get the exact tax value that you’ll have to pay.

Want us to find the applicable tax on a smartphone that is missing in the calculator above?

Simply, comment below the name of the smartphone along with the model, we’ll let you know the tax that you’ll be liable to pay for that smartphone. We’ll also add it to the calculated taxes table above.

Hope you found out the excise duty for the mobile phone you plan to import. We know these rates are high and we think the government should take appropriate steps to minimize these taxes soon.

Make sure you share it with your friends and family!

    • There might be a mistake. Try contacting PTA on their helpline and state your problem.
      I do not think the tax should be more than 8K PKR.

    • If FBR puts it under 350-500 usd category, then tax would be around 17500 on Passport and around 22,700 on ID Card. Or, if they think its over 500, then 31,500 / 40500

    They are on international roaming, I am not using Pakistani sim do I still need to pay tax?

    Reply

    • No, I do not think you need to pay tax if you are using it on international roaming. Also, if you plan on going back in 60 days, you can use any local SIM as well no problem. It’ll work for 60 days.

      Reply

    • around 8K i suppose if tax is calculated on 200-350 price bracket of the phone, if not, it’ll be 17k on passport and 22k on ID card,

  • Dear Fahad: I intend to bring Moto G Stylus. The total phone value is CAD349 (Canadian Dollars) approx. How much tax based on US$ conversion rate? Also I have Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, two years old, Do I need to pay the full duty (PKR31,520) on this one too or FBR will consider depreciation value?

    Reply

    • Hello Tariq,
      I think tax on Moto G Plus shouldn’t be more than 7K
      Tax on s10 plus should be 17K-22K, but if they still categorize it over 500 USD smartphone, then tax would be 31-40K. Hope that helps.

    Is there any workaround?

    • No, I don’t think you should be paying 20K for those old phones, go to PTA or call them and state your problem.

      Reply

    • If FBR categorizes the iPhone 8 under 350 USD then the duty will be

    • Hello,
      Do you plan to stay longer than 60 days? if yes, then register it. If no, you’ll be free to use any sim for 2 months without any issues.

      If you plan to stay longer, or leave your phone behind or you just wanna register it anyway, then you’ll have to pay
      for A50 and the Pixel 2 XL should approximately be
      Tax on Passport: PKR 6180/-
      Tax on CNIC: PKR 7865/-

    • If fba put the mate 20 pro at under 500 USD, then the tax would be 17K on Passport and 22K on ID Card. And, if they put it over 500usd, then tax would be 31.5K on Passport and 40.5K on ID card. hope that helps.

      Reply

    • Since the price of the phone according to FBR right now isn’t clear. So, if they place your iPhone 7 Plus in under $200-350 Usd, you’ll have to pay around pkr 8000 on ID Card or around 6800 on Passport. And, if they place your phone in $350-500, then the tax would be Pkr 22000 on id card and around 17000 on Passport. And yes, you’ll be allowed to use the phone for 60 days without registration or paying tax.
      Hope that helps

      • That is true, Actually, abhi recently 100USD se less phones pe taxes Kam han. Ap IMEI len phone ka aur model, phir me apko exact bata sakta hun.
        Sab depend kerta he on FBR and kya value wo dete han iss phone ko. Agar yeh 100-200 me lie kry tou apko 4510 passport pe aur 6K id card pe dene paryn ge.

      • Agar FBR bhi apke phone ko less than 100 USD value deta he, then apke phone pe tax less than 1000 hoga approximately (Based on the tax reduction FBR did recently)

      • Agr phone $90 ka hai to fbr $100 above value ku daiga? Kia ye jan bhuj kr aesa karain ga? Phone ki actual value $130 but sale pr $90 ka mil rha hai.

      • Aur FBR waly value kaha sai pata karain ga?
        Ap please whatsapp number da sakty hain. Mujhy phone import krna hai q k pakistan mai wo brands nhi hai aur kafi expensive hai pakistan mai. Is liye.

      • Hello,
        Do they have SIM Functionality? If yes, the question is, do you want to use the SIM Functionality or not? if not, then no tax required to pay. If yes, then you’ll have to pay taxes on each one of them to register their IMEI(s) with PTA in order to use it in Pakistan.

    Reply

    • No, Blackberry Q10 is cheap, and the value is less than $100. So the tax wouldn’t be 6K. It’ll be around 1K. Can’t tell exactly how much as Govt reduced the taxes on phones below $100. Try using the DIRBS web portal to register or dial *8484#.

  • It was in use till July-Aug 2018 when I got S9+ And switched off S7 edge, till now. So am not sure because someone told me if it was not in use in Nov-Dec 2018 it may not have been automatically registered..

    Also need your expert advice, whether i should register this phone on passport of my aunty (taking benefit of paying lower tax) who brought the phone and she is US citizen and she will stay in Pakistan for a month or so. If the phone is registered on her passport and can i use it on my sim which is registered with my name. Would it be any problem in future?

    Just wanted to inquire that I just bought a Huawei Y9s for myself from Qatar and my mom bought a Samsung Note9 for my father. While at the airport the custom officer’s didn’t asked us anything and we went through… I’m using the cellphone since 4 days haven’t received any message from PTA. DO you think I still need to pay tax on it?

    Reply

    • Hello,

      Actually the phones would work for 60 days without any issue, then it’ll be blocked and without registration, you wouldn’t get signals.
      Ultimately, you’d have to pay taxes for both of them.

      Try registering it using on your passport within 30 days of arrival, you’d have to pay discounted tax.

      Tax on Y9S on Passport = 6180 ,, On ID Card = 7865
      Tax on Note 9 on Passport = 31,520 ,, On ID Card = 40,392

    why they didn’t charge me normal tax which is 300PKR upto 30 dollar C&F value of mobile.

    • Oh, that’s a rare case.
      did you buy it used? here in Pakistan or you brought it in from abroad.
      My best guess would be that it was a carrier locked phone and in order to unlock it, they overwrite its IMEI.
      If you bought it here from a shop keeper, get it back to him as soon as you can.

      Please go to the customs office and pick up your phone, as you’d have to pay tax in order to use it in Pakistan. There’s nothing that the you are liable to give at the customs office. The tax to Approve your phone is actually the CUSTOMS TAX that goes to FBR.

    • Get the Oneplus from the official distributor i.e RockVille / Rockmobile.
      And if you get the non approved one, you’d have to pay PKR 40,500 to register it on ID Card

  • Please add the OnePlus 7 Pro to the list too. If you could give me a rough estimate on the taxes I’ll have to pay by replying to this, that would be greatly appreciated. My situation is that I myself will be going to the US and bringing back a OnePlus 7 Pro with me. Will I have to pay any sort of customs/taxes if that is the only device I’m carrying when i enter Pakistan?

    Thanks for answering the querries:
    I have a plan to bring two phones, one samasung S10 brand new & second used Samsung S9. Need to know the following:

    1. Tax is calculated per slot/SIM or phone?
    2. What is the approximate tax for each phone if registered on passport?
    3. How does the cost of cell phone work and used? Do I need to bring purchase receipts for each phone or will tax be calculated against current market value in Pakistan of each phone?

    Thanks again and best regards,
    Imran

    Reply

    • Hello Imran,
      Thanks for commenting

      1. Tax is calculated per Phone’s IMEI (DIRBS system does it at their back end)
      2. for both the models mentioned above, you’ll have to pay 31,500 to register them.
      3. No, just dial *8484# from a local SIM, follow the instructions, you’ll receive logins, use them to enter the web portal and track your application or register a new device.

      I hope that helped you out.

    Reply

    • Umrah Mubarak!
      No, You wouldn’t have to pay at the airport. You’ll have to register it via the DIRBS Web Portal or by dialing *8484#.
      And yes there’s a difference in Tax amount if you register it via Passport or via ID Card.

      Tax on ID CARD = 40,500
      Tax on Passport = 31,500
