Frequently asked questions
How much does NTN registration cost?+
Our service fee is Rs 499. FBR does not charge for NTN registration.
What is an NTN and why do I need one?+
The National Tax Number is your tax identity with FBR. You need it to file an income tax return, become a filer, register for sales tax, open many business accounts and start exporting.
How long does NTN registration take?+
Usually 1-3 working days once we have your complete documents. Company and partnership registrations can take longer.
What documents are needed for an individual NTN?+
A clear CNIC copy (front and back), a mobile number registered in your own name and an email address. Business NTNs also need the business address and nature of business.
What is the difference between NTN and STRN?+
The NTN is for income tax and identifies you as a taxpayer. The STRN is a separate sales tax registration for businesses that must charge and file sales tax. Many people need only an NTN. We can advise if you are unsure.
Do I need an NTN to file a tax return?+
Yes. You register an NTN first and then file your return. You can order both together: add the NTN registration to our FBR tax return filing service.
Does having an NTN make me a filer?+
No. An NTN alone does not make you a filer. You become a filer when you file the return for the latest tax year and appear on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL).
Can I get an NTN for my company or partnership?+
Yes. Companies need their SECP incorporation certificate and partnerships need a partnership deed. Choose the registration type when you order.
Is my NTN registration safe and confidential?+
Your documents are used only for your application and are shared only with the partner handling it. We hand your Iris login over to you and recommend changing the password.
