People in Dadu usually register for an NTN when a rice mill or trader needs to deal with buyers who pay through banks, when a contractor bids for government work, or when a family plans to buy a vehicle or property.
Rice Mills and Paddy Traders
Buyers of rice in Karachi and exporters require their suppliers to be registered, and banks ask for an NTN before opening a business current account for a mill. Mills that also need sales tax registration must obtain the NTN first.
Contractors on Rebuilding Work
Since the floods, roads, embankments, schools and houses have been rebuilt through government departments and aid programmes. Contractors and suppliers on this work are asked for an NTN, and those on the Active Taxpayers List suffer lower deductions from their bills.
Shops Accepting Digital Payments
Shops in Dadu and Mehar that take wallet or card payments need an account in the shop's name, which requires registration.
Families Buying Tractors and Cars
Advance tax at the registration of a vehicle is lower for active filers, so a family that registers and files before buying saves on the purchase.
Government Employees
Employees already have tax deducted, but registering on IRIS lets them file their own returns online.
What You Need
A CNIC, a mobile SIM in your own name, an email address and the address of your shop or mill. Our FBR registration guide shows the IRIS screens one by one.
