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 S26+ 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 S26+. 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$1,100 to US$1,300). 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.
Common questions
How much is the PTA tax on the Galaxy S26+?
About PKR 94,551 on a passport and PKR 116,656 on a CNIC for the Galaxy S26+ 256GB, at the rates in force since 1 July 2026. FBR has not published a customs value for the Galaxy S26+, so this is a projection. FBR valued the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold5 generation at 80% of its US launch price, and the same share of the Galaxy S26+'s launch price is used here. The exact amount is the one PTA's DIRBS system issues for your IMEI.
Is the Galaxy S26+ PTA tax lower on a passport?
Yes. On a passport, registered within 60 days of arriving in Pakistan, the estimate is PKR 94,551 for the Galaxy S26+ 256GB. On a CNIC it is PKR 116,656, 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 129,306.
Has FBR set an official value for the Galaxy S26+?
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 S26+. 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 S26+?
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.
