How PTA Tax is Calculated in 2026

The tax is no longer a flat fee. It depends on:

  1. Device Value (USD): Higher-end phones (above $500) have significantly higher duties.
  2. Registration Type: Registering via Passport is approximately Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000 cheaper than using a CNIC.
  3. Filer Status: While not directly on the PTA slip, being an active tax filer can sometimes assist in overall import cost adjustments.
