The passport route applies when you register within 60 days of arriving in Pakistan. After that, or for a phone bought locally, the CNIC figure applies. Open the Galaxy S24 in the calculator to switch between them.
The tax is charged on a customs value that FBR fixes for each model, and it has not fixed one for the Galaxy S24. We project it: FBR valued the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold5 generation at 80% of its US launch price, so we take the same share of this phone's launch price (US$800 to US$860). If FBR values it differently, the tax will differ in step.
The rates are the ones in force since 1 July 2026: regulatory duty by value band, sales tax of 18% up to a value of US$500 and 25% above it, the handset levy and, on a CNIC, advance income tax and a 10% fine. Our guide to what PTA tax is made of sets out each one with its source.

Is the Galaxy S24 PTA tax lower on a passport?
Yes. On a passport, registered within 60 days of arriving in Pakistan, the estimate is PKR 69,928 for the Galaxy S24 128GB. On a CNIC it is PKR 89,571, because advance income tax of PKR 11,500 is added and then a fine of 10% of the duty and taxes. A non-filer pays double the income tax, which takes it to PKR 102,221.
Has FBR set an official value for the Galaxy S24?
Not that it has published. FBR fixes a customs value for each model in a valuation ruling, and its latest ruling for this brand does not include the Galaxy S24. Until one is issued, every figure online for this phone is an estimate, including this one. Ours states its method: the share of US launch price that FBR used for the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold5 generation, applied to this phone.
How do I find the exact PTA tax on my Galaxy S24?
Register it through PTA's DIRBS portal, or dial *8484# from a local SIM. You give your CNIC or passport number and the phone's IMEI, and the system issues a Payment Slip ID with the exact amount, which you pay at a bank. Reach DIRBS through pta.gov.pk rather than a search result, because imitation sites exist.
