PTA Tax Slabs for Mobile Phones (2026)
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), in coordination with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), charges a fixed duty based on the declared USD value of a mobile phone, plus 17% sales tax on higher brackets. These slabs remained unchanged in the Budget 2026–27.
| Phone Value (USD) | CNIC Tax | Passport Tax |
|---|---|---|
| Up to $30 | Rs 550 | Rs 430 |
| $30 – $100 | Rs 4,323 | Rs 3,200 |
| $100 – $200 | Rs 11,561 | Rs 9,580 |
| $200 – $350 | Rs 14,661 + 17% ST | Rs 12,200 + 17% ST |
| $350 – $500 | Rs 23,420 + 17% ST | Rs 17,800 + 17% ST |
| Above $500 | Rs 37,007 + 17% ST | Rs 27,600 + 17% ST |

Example
Suppose you're registering an iPhone 17 Pro Max (256GB, $1,199) using your CNIC. Since the value exceeds $500, the calculator applies the top slab: Rs 37,007 base duty + 17% sales tax (Rs 6,291) = Rs 43,298 estimated total tax.
Why Use This Calculator?
PTA tax slabs can be confusing, especially for premium phones where duty and sales tax are combined. This calculator removes the guesswork by applying the correct official slab automatically, helping you budget accurately before importing or registering your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Did PTA tax rates increase in Budget 2026–27?
No. Despite proposals to reduce mobile phone taxes, the Budget 2026–27 kept PTA/FBR tax slabs unchanged. The only update was an installment payment facility introduced from June/July 2026.
Is this an official PTA calculator?
No. This is an independent estimation tool based on publicly available FBR/PTA slab notifications. The exact figure is generated by PTA's DIRBS system and may vary slightly based on the live exchange rate.
Why is the tax the same for iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max?
Both phones exceed $500 in declared value, and PTA applies one fixed duty for all phones above $500 — so the CNIC/Passport tax amount is identical regardless of which flagship model you choose.
How can I confirm the exact tax for my phone?
Send your phone's IMEI number to 8484 via SMS, or check directly on the official PTA DIRBS portal at dirbs.pta.gov.pk.
Is CNIC tax cheaper than Passport tax?
No, it's the opposite — CNIC registration tax is generally higher than Passport registration tax across all slabs.
