In January 2026, Pakistan’s tax authorities updated the valuation of used smartphones, including the iPhone 14 series. The Federal Board of Revenue fixed new customs values for used phones to reflect true resale prices around the world. These values help calculate PTA tax for imported devices.
For the iPhone 14 lineup, the updated PTA tax values are roughly:
| Model | New Tax Value (Approx) | Expected PTA Approved Price |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 14 | 24,584 PKR | ~120,000–150,000 PKR |
| iPhone 14 Pro | 28,616 PKR | ~150,000–170,000 PKR |
| iPhone 14 Pro Max | 39,944 PKR | ~200,000+ PKR |
These numbers come from custom value estimates that the FBR has released for used Apple phones. Importers must use these values when clearing used phones through customs.
The updates aim to bring more used phones into the tax system and lower costs for buyers over time. Dealers may take time to adjust prices in the market.
FAQs
1. Does the update change taxes for older iPhones too?
Yes. The new valuation applies to many iPhone models, but the biggest effects are on newer used devices like the 14 and 15 series.
2. Do these taxes include additional charges?
The PTA tax is separate from other duties and retail markups. Final prices can vary from seller to seller.
3. Will used iPhone 14 cost more than new ones?
Used PTA-approved units are usually cheaper than new phones, even with tax added.
Conclusion
This update makes the PTA and customs tax system more aligned with real-world phone values. Used iPhone 14 prices are likely to be fairer for buyers, but final costs still depend on the local market.
