New PTA Taxes on iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Plus (Updated May 2024)
IPhone 14 series has a reasonable user base in Pakistan, however, many users haven’t registered their devices with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). It is because they need to pay a hefty PTA tax for its registration. Therefore, people resort to illicit ways to bypass the PTA registration or have a secondary phone to use cellular services. Still, some users wish to pay PTA tax to get themselves relieved of the hustle of using 2 phones.
So, here are the updated PTA taxes on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.

As evident, the PTA Taxes on Apple iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are incredibly high. The taxes on smartphones are set by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). Therefore, we suggest the board reconsider the tax rates on all smartphones. Rather than targeting the end users, they should impose such taxes on those who import mobile devices for commercial purposes and exempt those who import mobile devices for personal use.
