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 Honor X9a in the calculator to switch between them.
The tax is charged on a customs value that FBR fixes for each model in a valuation ruling, not on the price you paid. The Honor X9a is in that ruling, so the value used here is FBR's own, converted to rupees at today's exchange rate.
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 Honor X9a?
About PKR 15,526 on a passport and PKR 17,189 on a CNIC for the Honor X9a, at the rates in force since 1 July 2026. It is worked out on the customs value FBR has published for the Honor X9a, which is what the tax is charged on, not on what you paid. The exact amount is the one PTA's DIRBS system issues for your IMEI.
Is the Honor X9a PTA tax lower on a passport?
Yes. On a passport, registered within 60 days of arriving in Pakistan, the estimate is PKR 15,526 for the Honor X9a. On a CNIC it is PKR 17,189, because advance income tax of PKR 100 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 17,299.
Where does the Honor X9a figure come from?
From FBR's own documents. The customs value is the one FBR published for this model in its valuation ruling, converted at today's exchange rate. The duty, sales tax, levy and income tax rates are the ones in force since 1 July 2026. FBR publishes no combined total, so the result is an estimate built from those parts.
How do I find the exact PTA tax on my Honor X9a?
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.
