Why another PTA tax calculator?

Published figures for the same phone differ by tens of thousands of rupees, mostly because sites use different assessed values and exchange rates without saying which.

We show the value, the exchange rate, the slab and the legal reference for every figure, and we say plainly what is not yet verified.
