Where the numbers come from
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 iPhone 15 Pro 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.
