The estimated PTA tax on the Google Pixel 9a 128GB is PKR 35,898 on a passport and PKR 44,988 on a CNIC. FBR has not published a customs value for the Google Pixel 9a, so this is a projection.

Projected from the launch price; FBR has not valued this phone yet. The DIRBS payment slip is the figure that counts.

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 Google Pixel 9a 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 Google Pixel 9a. We project it: FBR valued the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold5 generation, the nearest phones it has valued at 80% of its US launch price, so we take the same share of this phone's launch price (US$499 to US$599). 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 Google Pixel 9a?
About PKR 35,898 on a passport and PKR 44,988 on a CNIC for the Google Pixel 9a 128GB, at the rates in force since 1 July 2026. FBR has not published a customs value for the Google Pixel 9a, so this is a projection. FBR valued the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold5 generation, the nearest phones it has valued at 80% of its US launch price, and the same share of the Google Pixel 9a's launch price is used here. The exact amount is the one PTA's DIRBS system issues for your IMEI.
Is the Google Pixel 9a PTA tax lower on a passport?
Yes. On a passport, registered within 60 days of arriving in Pakistan, the estimate is PKR 35,898 for the Google Pixel 9a 128GB. On a CNIC it is PKR 44,988, because advance income tax of PKR 5,000 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 50,488.
Has FBR set an official value for the Google Pixel 9a?
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 Google Pixel 9a. 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, the nearest phones it has valued, applied to this phone.
How do I find the exact PTA tax on my Google Pixel 9a?
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.
