06 Your exact amount
Why your iPhone 7 Plus PTA tax may differ
Your PSID can differ from this page for three reasons.
The value Customs uses
We use the Customs value for a new iPhone 7 Plus. If your invoice is higher, Customs uses the higher value. Used phones are valued under a separate Customs ruling and can be lower.
The dollar rate
Customs converts the value at FBR's notified rate on the day. Each Rs 1 change in the rate changes the iPhone 7 Plus tax by about Rs 56.
Your filer status
On CNIC, non-filers pay double income tax: Rs 970 more on the iPhone 7 Plus. Passport registration has no income tax.
| Dollar rate | Passport | CNIC (filer) |
|---|---|---|
| Rs 273 | Rs 24,589 | Rs 28,735 |
| Rs 278 (used on this page) | Rs 24,811 | Rs 29,015 |
| Rs 283 | Rs 25,033 | Rs 29,295 |
| Rs 288 | Rs 25,254 | Rs 29,574 |
