Updated PTA Tax Structure for iPhone 16 Imports (2025)
Alongside Apple’s price revisions, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has introduced a new tax structure for the import of iPhone 16 models in 2025. The updated PTA tax rates vary based on whether the device is registered using a passport or a national ID card.
The new PTA tax rates are as follows:
- iPhone 16: Rs128,000 on passport, Rs153,000 on ID card
- iPhone 16 Plus: Rs134,000 on passport, Rs160,000 on ID card
- iPhone 16 Pro: Rs167,000 on passport, Rs197,000 on ID card
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: Rs181,500 on passport, Rs211,000 on ID card
This updated tax structure is designed to regulate the import of high-end smartphones and ensure compliance with PTA registration requirements.
Apple’s move to reduce prices, coupled with the new PTA tax policy, is expected to influence the local smartphone market significantly. While the price reductions may attract more buyers, the updated tax rates could offset the savings for those importing devices into Pakistan.
