Getting your NTN (National Tax Number) in Karachi has never been easier. Kamboh Associates registers NTNs for Karachi residents — individuals, sole proprietors, partnerships, and companies — in just 24 to 48 hours, completely online.

What is NTN and Why Do You Need It

An NTN (National Tax Number) is your unique FBR identifier that makes you a registered taxpayer in Pakistan. Without an NTN, you are a "non-filer" — subject to higher withholding taxes on banking, property, and business transactions.

Key benefits of getting your NTN in Karachi:

  • Become an FBR Active Taxpayer (Filer)
  • Reduce WHT on banking from 0.6% to 0.3%
  • Lower property transaction tax
  • Eligible for IT export tax exemption
  • Open business bank accounts
  • Bid for government contracts

NTN vs ATL — Important Difference

Many people confuse NTN registration with being on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL). These are two different things:

NTN
Tax Number
Your FBR registration ID. Issued once.
ATL
Active Filer Status
Requires annual return filing. Updated twice yearly.

Getting an NTN alone is not enough to enjoy reduced tax rates — you must also file an annual income tax return to appear on the ATL (Active Taxpayer List).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does NTN automatically put me on ATL?
No. NTN registration alone does not place you on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL). You must file at least one annual income tax return to appear on the ATL and enjoy reduced withholding tax rates.
Can I register NTN online in Karachi?
Yes, 100% online. You do not need to visit any FBR office. Kamboh Associates handles your NTN registration entirely through FBR's IRIS portal. Simply WhatsApp us your CNIC.
What if my mobile is not linked to CNIC?
FBR requires a CNIC-linked mobile number for IRIS verification. If your number is not linked, we will guide you on how to update it via Nadra's biometric verification service available at franchise outlets across Karachi.
Is NTN free from FBR directly?
NTN registration is free from FBR if you do it yourself through IRIS. However, it requires technical expertise and navigating multiple FBR systems. Kamboh Associates charges a service fee to handle this process accurately and quickly on your behalf.
