  1. The rates are to high as i also want to pay the taxes for my phone but due to this high rate i am not even able to pay the tax i think the individual having NTN and is the active tax payer should get some rebates or relief on paying PTA taxes.

  2. I dont know whats the reason to get taxes on phones?is there any changes in country?security?poverty?health issues?water or anything else????if anyone knows plz reply me.

      • to pyare bhai umer hayat ceo sahab. ap example water ki da rhy ho. to water ki bottle 100pkr ki hai. us p tax kitna hoga 10 ya 20 rupee. ye to nhe hota 100pkr ki bottle per 150 tax ho. ab iphone 6 ki price 8000 hai iska tax ap logo ny 15000 kiya hua hai. ye kya logix h

      • Sir aapki baat apni jagah theek ha but atleast phone ki price ka 20% tax len like jo phone 1.5 lak ka market main ha box pack uspe 25-30k tax but yahan toh tax hi 1 lak se upar ha jitne ka phone ha utna tax sirf sim chalane ke liye ? Atleast be practical justice toh hona chahiye !

  4. Waisay to PTA Tax ki koi tukk nahi banti because iPhone laitay huay already tax pay kiya jata hai or ek hi tax bar bar nahi hota phir bhi Munasib tax lagatay to har koi pay ker daita, jitnay ki cheez nahi uska double triple tax laga ker awam ko chor darwaza use kernay per bhi majboor kia or jo munasib tax rakhnay pay milna tha woh bhi gaya, public patch or cpid ker ke ek rupya diye bina chala rahi hai apna phone. Ullu ke pathay hain yeh Government walay

  5. when coming from abroad as dual citizen, and registering within 7 days of arrival. Is one phone completely free of pta taxes. or do we still have to pay some taxes. The video says that one phone is free.
