Frequently Asked Questions
How to use the PTA tax calculator for mobile phones?
To check PTA mobile tax for any device (iPhone 16, 15, 14, Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, etc.), select your registration type (Passport or CNIC), select your brand and model (or dollar value range), and the PTA tax calculator for mobile displays the exact FBR customs duty, regulatory duty, and total PKR tax due.
Does PTA keep the tax money collected for phone registration?
No. PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) only checks your phone's 15-digit IMEI number via DIRBS to register or block network access. 100% of the money collected is Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) customs duty, sales tax, regulatory duty, handset levy, and advance income tax.
Why is Passport registration cheaper than CNIC registration?
Passport registration is designated for international travelers and overseas Pakistanis carrying personal luggage within 60 days of landing. It waives the Section 148 Advance Income Tax (which can add up to Rs 11,500 on CNIC registration).
Is there a discount for registering a used or refurbished phone?
No. Personal imported used or refurbished phones brought in luggage are assessed based on official FBR customs valuation listings. FBR already factors age depreciation into published C&F values.
What if my phone model is not in the list?
For newly released models (like iPhone 17 or Galaxy S25) without published valuation rulings, switch the calculator to 'Enter Custom Value' and enter the C&F dollar value from your assessment paperwork or purchase invoice.
Can I pay PTA mobile registration tax in installments?
Under the Finance Act 2026 provisions, FBR has enabled framework guidelines for installment payments. Check the official FBR/DIRBS portal when processing your PSID code to see active bank installment options.
How many phones can I register on my passport?
PTA DIRBS guidelines allow up to 5 mobile registrations per calendar year per individual, though passport-specific duty allowances are limited to 1 primary device per travel trip.
How can I check if my phone is already PTA approved?
Dial *#06# on your phone to find its 15-digit IMEI number(s). Send the IMEI via SMS to 8484, check on dirbs.pta.gov.pk, or use the official DVS mobile app.
