The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has updated the tax values for used iPhone 14 phones after the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) revised custom valuations. This change affects the cost of importing old or used iPhones into Pakistan. It does not mean extra charges for personal devices already in the country, but it helps align tax values with global market prices.
Here are the estimated PTA taxes based on the revised custom values:
| Model | Estimated PTA Tax (PKR) | Market Price Before Tax (Approx) | Total Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 14 | 24,584 | 100,000–120,000 | 120,000–150,000 |
| iPhone 14 Pro | 28,616 | 120,000–140,000 | 150,000–170,000 |
| iPhone 14 Pro Max | 39,944 | 150,000–170,000 | Above 200,000 |
These figures are based on new custom values from FBR.
This move is likely to make used iPhones more affordable in Pakistan over time, especially if importers pass the savings to buyers. Dealers may adjust prices gradually as old stock clears and new tax rates take effect.
FAQs
1. Why are the tax values changing now?
FBR updated the custom values to match international used phone prices. That affects how PTA tax is calculated.
2. Will consumers pay more tax than before?
For personal used devices already in Pakistan, tax doesn’t go up immediately. This change affects imported units and legal imports.
3. Will the prices of used iPhones go down?
Cheaper customs values may eventually lower total prices, but it depends on how sellers set their rates.
Conclusion
The updated PTA tax values for used iPhone 14 models bring clearer and more realistic pricing to Pakistan’s market. Buyers might benefit from lower overall prices when these changes fully take effect.
