Instructions

NTN REGISTRATION

1. National Tax Number, commonly known as NTN is a unique ID issued by Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) – the apex tax regulatory authority in Pakistan, to verify the registration of business. The NTN registration is required to conduct any taxable activity either business or salary transaction. Furthermore, you must require NTN for filing the tax return (sales tax, income tax, property tax, or any other tax). In addition, the NTN registration is required to open a business bank account and to enter into any financial transaction in Pakistan.
2. After having NTN registration you can easily become tax filer and need not worry about extra burden of taxes/penalties, at the time of any financial transaction like cash withdrawals from banks, monthly or yearly profits on saving accounts, vehicle registration, dividend and any other monetary gains from stocks, or any other kind of investments.
3. According to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 issued by FBR, every company must have NTN registration in Pakistan to file annual income tax returns in order to operate a business in the country. Since the introduction of Income Tax Ordinance in 2001, the NTN is issued with a permanent tax number and there is no need to renew the number periodically. This initiative has provided further ease to people for the NTN registration in Pakistan.
