People from Bhimber register for an FBR NTN mainly to deal with income or property in Pakistan proper, such as buying a plot in Islamabad, working for a federal employer or receiving payments from Pakistani companies.
When an AJK Resident Needs an FBR NTN
An NTN from FBR is needed where you have dealings within FBR's jurisdiction: a salary from a federal or private employer in Pakistan proper, rent from property in Rawalpindi or Islamabad, a business supplying Pakistani companies, or a property purchase in Pakistan where filer status lowers advance tax.
Families with Relatives Abroad
Relatives in the UK or the Gulf who plan to buy property in Pakistan can register with their CNIC or NICOP and file from abroad.
Contractors
Contractors who work on projects in Pakistan proper, such as in Gujrat or Jhelum, need an FBR NTN and often active filer status.
AJK's Own Registration
Taxpayers with income arising in AJK deal with AJK's revenue authorities for that income; an FBR NTN does not replace AJK registration.
Registering
The IRIS steps are in our FBR registration guide. Use your current address in Bhimber; FBR registration does not depend on living in Pakistan proper.
Contractors on Local Works
Builders and suppliers working on roads and schools in Bhimber deal with the AJK government, while those who take contracts across the line in Gujrat or Jhelum deal with Punjab departments. Each authority asks for its own registration, so contractors working on both sides should keep both records current.
