Samsung Galaxy M12 PTA Tax in Pakistan 2026
Pakistan's telecommunications regulator requires that every Samsung Galaxy M12 brought from overseas be registered through the DIRBS system. The applicable tax depends on the model's market value and variant.
Samsung Galaxy M12 PTA Tax Rates 2026
| Model / Variant | CNIC Tax (PKR) | Passport Tax (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy M12 32GB | Rs. 5,800 | Rs. 4,760 |
| Galaxy M12 64GB | Rs. 6,950 | Rs. 5,700 |
| Galaxy M12 128GB | Rs. 7,250 | Rs. 5,950 |
These figures are approximate. The exact duty depends on the value FBR assigns to your model and on the exchange rate, so check your amount on DIRBS with your IMEI before paying. Budget 2026-27 kept sales tax at 18% (25% for phones above $500). In September 2026 the regulatory duty on imported smartphones was cut by 20%, for example from Rs. 22,000 to Rs. 17,600 for phones above $500, so your final amount may be slightly lower than shown here.
