New PTA Taxes on iPhone X (Updated May 2023)

To inform all those who are planning to purchase an iPhone X in Pakistan, PTA has increased taxes on this device once again. While iPhones are globally recognized for their sleek design and high-end branding, their prices can be a concern in countries like Pakistan where inflation rates are rising. Unfortunately, prices have risen due to two factors – the depreciating value of the rupee against the US dollar and the high PTA taxes. As an example, even the five-generation old iPhone X is still subject to such high taxes. So, let’s take a look at the new PTA taxes on iPhone X.

PTA Taxes on iPhone X

It’s important to note that importing an iPhone X series device to Pakistan will incur a significant tax cost of PKR 116k to PKR 145k. This tax hike applies even to models that are five years old, making it more difficult for individuals to afford them. We believe that it would be beneficial for the national telecom regulator to consider excluding or reducing taxes on personal smartphone imports, making it easier for people to access the latest technology at reasonable prices.
