Formula & how it works

PTA tax is banded by the device's assessed value:

  • Value band = the phone's value mapped to a PTA slab
  • Estimated tax = the slab amount for passport or CNIC
  • Total imported cost = phone value + PTA tax

Example calculations

Example: a phone valued around PKR 224,000 (~$800) falls in the top PTA band, where the estimated tax is materially higher on CNIC than on passport. Enter your phone's value above to see both figures and the total landed cost.
