The best thing about iPhone is that it doesn’t lose its value for years after launch. Comparatively, smartphones from other brands usually do not last long if we compare them to an iPhone. Furthermore, you will be surprised to know that in Pakistan even some older iPhones will cost you more than the price in which they have launched a few years ago. This is because our national telecom regulator Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has recently increased taxes on imported smartphones. Many experts attribute this increase to the declining rupee and limited State Bank reserves. Currently, the government intends to restrict imports in order to stabilize the economy. This is a step in the right way for retailers that import phones in bulk, but we do not feel it is fair for the average user who imports phones for personal use. Right now, we are going to cover the taxes on all iPhones (From 5 series to 14 series) that are available in the market.
Furthermore, you can use our PTA Tax Calculator if you have any questions regarding these taxes or if you want to determine the PTA tax on any other smartphone.

IF you buy any phone 1 lakh so you want to payed to tax on new phone but if you buy same phone on used condition then how can pay tax as new phone tax
Extreme taxes, FBR is responsible for it but PTA need to make them aware that users, genuine buyers who want to bring in a phone for themselves need to be exempted.
iPhone is the definition of all that glitters is not gold. An average user can easily save themselves from the economical crunch and buy a high end android phone and save thousands on taxes but I guess the materialistic needs of an average user to showoff having an iPhone is greater than saving oneself from wasting money.
Agreed. But there’s no doubt that iOS is the best mobile software available. And, some might just buy them for that reason. That being said, the issue is with our system, the authorities are declaring the insane amount of taxes on phones that do not even cost that much to buy. Why do we have to pay tax on a phone that we buy abroad for our personal use (non-commercial)???
