Mandi Bahauddin residents and their relatives in Europe register for an NTN to buy and sell property at filer rates, rent out houses and run businesses in the city's markets.
Registering from Europe
A Mandi Bahauddin family member living in Spain, Greece or Italy registers on IRIS with a NICOP or CNIC. FBR sends verification codes to a Pakistani mobile number registered in the applicant's name and to an email address, so many overseas applicants keep a Pakistani SIM active for this purpose. After registration, a return must be filed for the person to appear on the Active Taxpayers List.
Before a Property Transfer
The buyer's advance tax at transfer is charged at the filer rate only if the buyer is on the list when the transfer happens. Registering and filing a few weeks before the transfer avoids paying the higher rate.
Landlords
Owners renting houses and shops in the city register to declare rent and to deal with company and bank tenants who withhold tax.
Grain Traders and Arhtis
Mills in Mandi Bahauddin and Sargodha pay by bank and withhold tax, at a higher rate from non-filers.
Shops, Clinics and Schools
Businesses that want card machines and business accounts register first.
