In a major update, Pakistan has unveiled its official tax rates for imported iPhone mobile in 2024. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has categorized the taxes on iPhone based on two key factors: the Pakistan Customs Tariff (PCT) code and whether the buyer is listed on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL).
ATL Advantage:
Enjoy lower tax rates compared to non-ATL individuals.
Persons not appearing on ATL pay 100% more tax than persons on ATL

Difference?
The government wants to incentivize tax compliance by rewarding ATL individuals with lower rates.
This encourages more people to join the formal tax system, broadening the tax base and boosting revenue.
Overall, the new mobile phone tax rates mark a significant development in Pakistan’s taxation policies. Their impact on consumer behavior and the economy will become clearer in the coming months.
