PTA Mobile Tax Calculator
Check the PTA/FBR registration tax for popular phones. Pick your brand and model to see the standard CNIC duty — values are verified from the official FBR WeBOC lookup where available.
How it works
PTA mobile tax is the customs duty + taxes you pay to register an imported phone on Pakistan's network. FBR sets this per model, based on the device's valuation.
- Select your brand, then your exact model.
- The result is the standard CNIC duty (the value WeBOC returns).
- The passport/baggage route is lower and applied at credentialed registration.

Frequently asked questions
How much is PTA tax on an iPhone or Samsung in Pakistan?
It depends on the exact model — FBR sets the duty per device, not by a formula. Pick your brand and model to see the standard CNIC registration duty (2026 figures).
Is there a formula for PTA mobile tax?
No. FBR determines duty per model via an IMEI → valuation ruling, so there's no public price-to-tax formula. That's why this tool uses a curated list, with values verified from the official WeBOC lookup where possible.
CNIC vs passport registration — what's the difference?
Registering on a passport (within 60 days of arrival) usually costs less, and your first device per year can be duty-free. On CNIC, the standard (higher) duty applies — that's the figure shown here.
How do I confirm the exact tax?
Use the PTA DIRBS portal or the FBR WeBOC lookup with your device's IMEI (dial *#06#). Those return the authoritative amount for your specific handset.
Duty is set per model by FBR and can change. Verified figures come from WeBOC; others are tier-based estimates. Always confirm with PTA DIRBS using your IMEI before purchase.
