PTA Taxes on iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max (Feb 2023)
Check out the New Taxes
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has again increased the taxes on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. This is actually astonishing as the taxes on these phones have increased multiple times in recent months. It has led to a significant increase in the overall price of the phone. Undoubtedly, the iPhone is a luxury brand in the smartphone market, and in countries like Pakistan, you have to pay a significant amount of tax to use it with SIM coverage. However, such a high price makes it a symbol of luxury and status. It is because only the rich segment of society is able to buy it, which creates a social divide in society. Even if you are able to save up enough money to buy an iPhone, you will also have to pay a sizable PTA tax. Here are the new updated PTA taxes on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
New PTA Taxes on iPhone 14 Pro & iPhone 14 Pro Max
| Devices | PTA Taxes on Passport (PKR) | PTA Taxes on CNIC (PKR) |
| iPhone 14 Pro | 158,630/- | 187,143/- |
| iPhone 14 Pro Max | 158,630/- | 187,143/- |
The taxes were again increased in merely 25 days period. We also covered the previous tax hike on iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14 pro max. In recent months, the PTA taxes on imported mobile phones have climbed dramatically. The depreciation of the rupee and limited State Bank reserves can be blamed for this increase in taxes. Thus, the government’s current goal is to block imports in order to maintain economic stability. This is a good step for retailers who import phones in bulk but we won’t consider it appropriate for a normal user who just imports phones for personal usage.

stupid governess
Can overseas use for four moths use any device during vocation
No, they can use it for just 2 months
If you have a HK model, which has dual physical sim option then you can use it for 4 months. 2 months for each sim slot.
On the other hand if you have a UAE Variant, then you should use E-sim first and the physical sim. You’ll be able to use it for 4 months as well.
But, if you a LLA model with only Dual E sim, then only 2 months.
The above mentioned information is related to Iphone 14 pro and Pro Max models.
Ahmer, thank you for replying and sharing your valuable information.
That is true and on LLA Models, you can do the exact same. Use 01 esim for 02 months, then another for 02 months. Both have different IMEI(s) so technically they’d work for 2 months each.
