Mobile Phone Tax in Pakistan: No Changes Beyond 2026-27 Budget

The mobile phone tax in Pakistan will not be cut further for now, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb told the National Assembly, and no date has been set for a fresh review.

The government has ruled out further tax relief on imported mobile phones in Pakistan.

Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb gave this position in a written National Assembly reply on October 14, 2026.

Income tax on phones valued at $100 to $200 fell from Rs930 to Rs100, and the mobile handset levy fell from Rs600 to Rs200.

The minister did not give a timeline for future reviews.

The government says further cuts would hit revenue, so the 2026-27 budget relief is final for now.
