Bringing an iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB from overseas or having it shipped to you by family has become more expensive after the government raised luxury phone taxes again.
The Federal Government has recently increased the PTA Taxes on mobile phone approval by a large amount with the release of the mini-budget. However, the new taxes do not apply to smartphones under $200, and the change is only in effect for smartphones above $200.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max costs $1,730.92 in the United States, which is comparable to Rs. 305,291.02 in India.
The government has stated that all phones purchased from outside will be subject to a 17 percent GST in addition to customs duties.
The Apple iPhone is both the most popular and the most expensive smartphone in the country; however, the high price is regarded to be justified by the product, which provides a solid smartphone for everyday use as well as some demanding applications, like gaming.
