New Increased PTA Taxes for iPhone 14 Series in Pakistan

Federal Board of Revenue has once again revised the custom valuation of imported smartphones, leading to higher PTA taxes on several models. The latest update, introduced in April 2026, comes only months after the previous revision in January. As a result, import costs for older flagship devices have increased across the market.

Officials clarified that these changes mainly impact importers and traders. However, the price effect may still reach buyers, especially those purchasing used or non-PTA-approved devices.

New Increased PTA Taxes for iPhone 14 Series in Pakistan

iPhone 14 Series Comes Under New Tax Structure

The revised valuation affects the entire Apple iPhone 14 lineup, including the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, the iPhone 14 Plus remains unchanged in this latest update.

Based on the new custom values, PTA taxes have increased for most variants. This means users looking to register imported devices will now face higher approval costs.

Updated PTA Tax Rates (April 2026)

According to the latest figures, PTA tax rates have risen across both CNIC and passport registrations:

iPhone 14
- CNIC: Rs. 30,321 (previously Rs. 27,045)
- Passport: Rs. 27,860 (previously Rs. 24,584)
iPhone 14 Pro
- CNIC: Rs. 34,101 (previously Rs. 31,077)
- Passport: Rs. 31,640 (previously Rs. 28,616)
iPhone 14 Pro Max
- CNIC: Rs. 48,235 (previously Rs. 45,564)
- Passport: Rs. 42,615 (previously Rs. 39,944)

Increase Driven by Higher Custom Values

The tax hike follows a notable increase in official custom values set by authorities:

iPhone 14: Increased from $210 to $275
iPhone 14 Pro: Increased from $290 to $350
iPhone 14 Pro Max: Increased from $360 to $413

These revised valuations directly impact the final PTA tax calculation, resulting in higher charges.

Market Impact Expected

Industry observers suggest that this move may further push up prices in Pakistan’s grey market. As importers adjust to the new costs, older iPhone models may no longer remain as affordable as before.

With smartphone taxes seeing frequent revisions, buyers and sellers are advised to stay updated on the latest rates before making purchase decisions.
