Gujrat's manufacturers, traders and overseas families register for an NTN to sell to distributors, export, buy and sell property at filer rates and open business accounts.
Small Fan Units
Distributors buying fans increasingly refuse unregistered suppliers, because they cannot claim input tax on purchases from them. A small unit that registers for income tax and, when required, for sales tax gains access to these buyers.
Exporters
Fan and furniture exporters need an NTN for customs and for banks to receive export proceeds. Tax collected on export proceeds is credited against the exporter's liability or treated as final, depending on the regime.
Overseas Pakistanis
Members of the large Gujrati community in Spain, Italy, Greece and Norway can register with their CNIC or NICOP and file online, which lowers advance tax on property purchases and sales at home.
Students and Graduates
University of Gujrat students who start freelancing register with their CNIC so foreign payments go into their own accounts.
Shops and Showrooms
Showrooms that accept cards or sell online need business accounts.
How to Register
You need a CNIC or NICOP, a working phone number and an email address. Our FBR registration guide shows the steps on IRIS.
Ceramics and Pottery Units
Ceramic units supplying tableware to retailers and hotels deal with buyers who prefer registered suppliers. Registration also allows the unit to open accounts with gas and electricity suppliers in the business name.
