How the iPhone 8 tax is estimated
The figure above is built from the standard FBR mobile tax components: Regulatory Duty, Sales Tax (GST), Withholding Tax, a 9% IT Duty, a fixed Mobile Levy and a 0.9% Provincial Tax. Because the iPhone 8 has a declared customs value of roughly $350, it falls into the fixed tax slab, which sets the totals shown here.
Always treat these as planning estimates. The exact amount is calculated on the official PTA DIRBS portal from the value declared at import, and rates are revised from time to time in the federal budget.
