Dina residents and their relatives abroad register for an NTN mainly to manage property bought or rented out, to sell property at filer rates, or to run businesses on the GT Road.
Owners Living in the UK
A Dina family member living in Britain can register with a NICOP or CNIC, using an email address and a phone number that receives FBR messages. Registration and a filed return are what put the owner on the Active Taxpayers List, which lowers advance tax at purchase and sale.
Landlords
Owners renting out houses need an NTN to declare rent and to give tenants that are companies the details needed for withholding.
GT Road Businesses
Petrol pump dealers, restaurant owners and workshop owners register to deal with oil companies, suppliers and banks.
Families in Mangla and Jhelum Cantonment
Employees and retired servicemen who plan property purchases benefit from registering first.
Selling Inherited Property
Heirs selling a house left by a parent should each be registered, because each heir's share is taxed in their own hands.
How It Works
IRIS registration takes a CNIC or NICOP, a working phone number and an email. Our FBR registration guide covers the process.
Contractors at Mangla
Contractors who supply maintenance, transport and services to the dam and its colony are asked for an NTN by the employing organisation, which deducts tax on bills at lower rates for active filers.
