Frequently asked questions
How is PTA mobile tax calculated in Pakistan?
PTA tax is the sum of customs duty, regulatory duty, sales tax (GST 18%), withholding tax and the IT/mobile levy. The amount depends on the device's assessed C&F value in USD, whether you register on CNIC or passport, and your filer status.
Is passport registration cheaper than CNIC?
Yes — overseas Pakistanis and travellers who register on a passport within 60 days of arrival pay less than local CNIC registration. After 60 days, only CNIC registration is available.
Did Budget 2026-27 change mobile taxes?
Budget 2026-27 removed the uniform concession on commercial smartphone imports and moved to a value-based (ad-valorem) duty on higher-value phones. The personal free-phone baggage allowance was also withdrawn, so every imported phone is now taxable.
Are these figures official?
No. Since April 2026 FBR uses a model-specific assessed value and finalises the duty at the DIRBS counter using the live USD rate. This tool gives an estimate to help you budget — always confirm the exact amount with PTA/FBR.
