Will you be buying a Nothing Phone (2) model overseas and bringing it to Pakistan for personal use? You should remember, nevertheless, that using cellular services in Pakistan would require payment of PTA tax. The Nothing Phone (2) is the follow-up to the Nothing Phone (1) and has a distinctive look and a few upscale functions. Recall that mobile phones in Pakistan are subject to taxes levied by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). Let us therefore determine the cost of registering Nothing Phone (2) with PTA.
PTA Tax on Nothing Phone (2)
| PTA Tax on Passport | PTA Tax on CNIC |
|---|---|
| Rs. 106,000/-. | PKR 129,250/-. |
As is clear, Nothing Phone (2) carries rather hefty PTA taxes. We so advise FBR to review the tax rates on all cellphones. They ought to levie these taxes on people who import mobile devices for business usage and spare those who import them for personal use, instead of focusing on the end consumers.
