PTI government has imposed following duties on mobiles since July 2019, and now even personal mobiles brought from overseas are subject to this tax. Last year, one personal mobile was allowed duty free but now that allowance has been removed.
Do you think this restriction is justified?
I think this is outrageous that people can't even bring their personal mobiles from overseas without paying duty ( if they intend to live more than 60 days in Pakistan).
Refer to following FBR document for details:
Q: Can I bring one mobile phone into Pakistan without payment of duty/taxes?
A: No. Recently Baggage Rules have been amended vide Finance Act, 2019 whereby facility for bringing duty/taxes free mobile set has been withdrawn w.e.f. 01.07.2019. Hence duty and taxes will be paid on that mobile phone
