Apple‘s latest versions are the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. The price of this phone is prohibitively expensive, but in order to activate the network on an iPhone, PTA verification is required. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority charges a fee to activate phone network access. If you’re thinking about purchasing one, here are the new PTA taxes on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
The new PTA taxes on the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro Max have increased the phone’s price, keeping it out of reach for all but society’s elites. To register with PTA, a phone must be free of all customs charges and taxes within 30 days of purchase. Here is the most recent tax price for the iPhone 14 series.
Devices | PTA Tax on Passport (PKR) | PTA Tax on CNIC (PKR) |
Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max | 131,000 | 152,424 |
Apple iPhone 14 Pro | 127,000 | 145,801 |
These are the most recent PTA taxes on the iPhone 14 series that you will have to pay in order to use your phone on any local network. The PTA will not allow the use of any SIM card in imported phones if the tax is not paid.
The price in PKR fluctuates due to exchange rate fluctuations. The iPhone 14 Pro costs $999, and the 14 Pro Max costs $1099. Along with purchasing a phone at these exorbitant prices, the PTA fee is required.
This rise in PTA tariffs is an effort by the government to decrease imports into Pakistan. Because the iPhone is in high demand in Pakistan, dealers and buyers must import a substantial volume. This contributes to Pakistan’s current account deficit.
As a result, tax is levied on all imported mobile phones in the region. The constant growth in PTA taxes is caused by currency depreciation and a lack of reserves in the State Bank of Pakistan. This project has the potential to reduce Pakistan’s imports, thereby assisting in the stabilization of the economy.
This measure, however, has discouraged the acquisition of new mobile phones such as the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. because taxes are always increasing, making them prohibitively expensive for middle-income buyers. Furthermore, it widened the social divide in Pakistan, where expensive smartphones have become a symbol of affluence for all.
