Businesses and workers in Hub register for an NTN to supply the industrial area's factories, set up manufacturing units, rent out industrial property or buy property at filer rates.
Joining a Factory's Vendor List
Factories in Hub keep approved vendor lists. A transporter, labour contractor, scrap buyer or maintenance firm needs an NTN, a bank account in its own name and, for services, registration with the Balochistan Revenue Authority before it can be paid regularly.
Setting Up a New Unit
Entrepreneurs moving production from Karachi to Hub need an NTN for the business, then sales tax registration for the factory, which involves verification of the premises and electricity connection in Balochistan.
Industrial Landlords
Owners renting sheds and plots to factories register to declare rent and to receive it after the tenant company's withholding.
Transporters
Truck owners carrying goods for Hub's factories register to deal with companies that require registered carriers.
Employees
Workers whose employers withhold tax can register on IRIS to file their own returns and claim refunds.
How to Register
IRIS registration needs a CNIC, a mobile number in your name and the address of the business. Our FBR registration guide shows each screen. BRA registration is a separate step for service providers.
Scrap Dealers
Scrap and waste buyers who purchase from Hub's factories are asked for an NTN, and the tax collected on scrap sales is credited to them only if they are registered.
