Before purchasing an iPhone, it is important to be aware of the true costs, including PTA taxes. A revised value for the iPhone 14 series taxes has been disclosed by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
As everyone wants to keep an iPhone in their pockets, the price of the iPhone has increased significantly. As is well known, businessmen and professionals are constantly drawn to the opulent and sophisticated iPhone.
In the past, the government frequently raised the cost of iPhones and levied high taxes on them. Customers were dissatisfied with the choice, and there was a dramatic drop in iPhone sales. The government has now disclosed a new tax rate for the iPhone 14 Series.
Taxes on the entire iPhone 14 Series, including the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 plus, and Pro Max, have been reduced noticeably by roughly 10 to 20%, with pronounced variations ranging from Rs 9,074 to Rs 31,562 (on passport) and Rs 29,832 to Rs 34,901 (on CNIC).
Additionally, the PTA taxes on the iPhone 14 have drastically decreased. The tax on passports has decreased from Rs 134,825 to Rs 125,751, while the tax on CNICs has fallen significantly from Rs 160,958 to Rs 131,126.
But you can now get the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, and Pro Max for significantly less money. For iPhone 14 users with non-PTA-approved devices, the most exciting news is the new fee that the government introduced.
The following table shows the differences between each iPhone 14 model.

It’s great news for those who want to purchase the newest iPhone 14, as this might be the ideal moment to do it.
The PTA tax on iPhones and other mobile gadgets is collected by the regulating body Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. All imported mobile devices are subject to the tax, which is determined depending on the values of the gadgets. The tax, however, is paid by the end user and is figured into the device’s final cost.
The PTA taxes have a variety of effects on the economy, consumers, and businesses. The government’s tax makes the handsets more expensive than they would otherwise be. The government’s taxation policies have had a detrimental effect on companies, especially those engaged in the import and sale of iPhones in Pakistan.
Unfortunately, the PTA taxes have also had a negative impact on consumer purchasing power. All imported mobile devices are subject to the high rate of taxes. Customers have long wished for tax reductions that would make iPhones more accessible to the average person.
