PTA tax on a used iPhone 14 Pro Max is about Rs 38,775 on passport and Rs 49,181 on CNIC for a filer. FBR's used-phone ruling of 23 April 2026 values it at US$413, up from US$360 in January 2026.
US$413 is in the US$350 to 500 slab. So the 14 Pro Max pays 18% sales tax, not 25%, and a fixed Rs 12,000 regulatory duty and Rs 4,000 levy. That is why it costs far less to register than a 15 Pro Max, whose used value is just over US$500.

| Regulatory duty | Rs 12,000 | Rs 12,000 |

iPhone 14 Pro Max, FBR ruling 2070/2026, used at US$413 × Rs 277.31.
On passport: value Rs 114,529, sales tax 18% of Rs 126,529 = Rs 22,775, plus Rs 12,000 duty and Rs 4,000 levy.
iPhone 14 Pro Max PTA tax by value basis
| Value basis | Value | Passport | CNIC, filer | CNIC, non-filer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FBR ruling 2070/2026, used | US$413 | Rs 38,775 | Rs 49,181 | Rs 54,181 |
| FBR ruling 1999/2025, new, 256GB | US$891 | Rs 99,771 | Rs 123,625 | Rs 135,125 |
| US launch price, 128GB (September 2022) | US$1,099 | Rs 114,191 | Rs 140,930 | Rs 152,430 |
At Rs 277.31 per US$ (SBP interbank rate around 24 to 25 September 2026). CNIC figures include 4% additional customs duty.
A new 256GB set at FBR's US$891 falls in the top slab, so it costs more than double the used figure.
How much room below US$500
The used value sits US$87 under the US$500 line. If FBR raised it past US$500 in a later ruling, the passport tax would jump by more than Rs 20,000, as happened to the 15 Pro Max in April 2026.
The exchange rate does not move the slab. Slabs are set on the dollar value, so a weaker rupee only raises the sales tax part. At Rs 300 to the dollar, the used 14 Pro Max would still pay 18%.
CNIC for a filer, step by step
- Additional customs duty: 4% of Rs 114,529 = Rs 4,581
- Sales tax: 18% of (114,529 + 12,000 + 4,581) = Rs 23,600
- Withholding tax: Rs 5,000 (Rs 10,000 for a non-filer)
- Regulatory duty Rs 12,000 and levy Rs 4,000
- Total: Rs 49,181

Did the April 2026 ruling raise the 14 Pro Max tax?
Yes. Its used value went from US$360 to US$413. Both are in the same slab, so only sales tax changed. At 2026-27 rates the passport tax is Rs 38,775 against about Rs 36,130 at the old value.
Figures use the 2026-27 rates and Rs 277.31 to the US dollar. FBR has not said publicly whether DIRBS uses the used-phone ruling for phones people bring in themselves. The PSID from DIRBS is the amount you pay.
