iPhone 13 Pro max PTA Tax 2022
The introduction of the iPhone 13 Pro max has been subject to a lot of controversy, with many people criticizing the high prices of the device. However, one thing that has gone unnoticed is the increased tax on the device, which has been raised to 85,000 from 46,500 earlier. This means that people who are looking to purchase the device will have to pay more than they would have expected.
The tax on other devices has also been increased, with the tax on the iPhone 11 Pro Max now being 85,000. This is a significant increase from the 46,500 that was charged earlier. The reason for this increase is not clear, but it is likely that the government is trying to generate more revenue from the sale of these devices.
This is likely to impact the sales of the iPhone 13 Pro max, as people are likely to purchase other models that are more affordable. This could also lead to a decrease in demand for the device, as people may not be willing to pay the high price tag.
It is important to note that the tax is not applicable to all devices, and only applies to devices that are worth more than 10 million. This means that people who are looking to purchase an iPhone 13 Pro Max will not have to pay the tax, as the device is not worth more than 10 million.
The government has said that the tax is necessary to generate revenue, and that it will be used to fund various development projects. However, many people are likely to feel that the tax is unfair, as it is only applicable to a small number of people.
The government has not said how long the tax will be in place for, but it is likely that it will be in place for the foreseeable future. This means that people who are looking to purchase an iPhone 13 Pro Max will have to pay the tax for the foreseeable future.
