Khuzdar residents register for an NTN to sell minerals to buyers in Karachi and Hub, work as transporters or government contractors, or buy property at filer rates.
Selling Minerals Down-Country
A Khuzdar lease holder sending chromite or barite to a processor in Hub, or marble blocks to a cutting unit in Karachi, will be asked for an NTN before the buyer's accounts department releases payment. Buyers withhold tax on purchases at a lower rate when the seller is on the Active Taxpayers List, so filing makes a direct difference on every truckload.
Mining Contractors
Contractors who drill, blast and haul for lease holders register to receive payments by bank and to claim the tax withheld.
Transporters on the N-25
Truck owners carrying minerals and goods between Khuzdar, Karachi and Quetta register to work for companies that require registered carriers, and to adjust the advance tax paid with their vehicle tokens.
Contractors for District Departments
Roads, water schemes and school buildings in the Jhalawan region are built by contractors who must be registered; withholding on their bills depends on filer status.
Engineering Graduates
Graduates of the university in Khuzdar starting jobs or consultancy register with their CNIC to build a tax record.
Applying
IRIS registration uses a CNIC, a phone number in your own name and an address. Our FBR registration guide explains each step.
Livestock Traders
Traders sending sheep and goats to Karachi's markets before Eid increasingly receive payment by bank and register to document their trade.
