Mirpur, in southern Azad Kashmir beside Mangla Lake, has the closest ties to Britain of any district in Pakistan. Mirpuri families register for an FBR NTN mainly for property and income in Pakistan proper and for relatives in the UK who invest at home.
Why Mirpuris Need an FBR NTN
Mirpur's own income is taxed under Azad Kashmir's system. Mirpuri families come to FBR when something crosses into Pakistan proper: buying a plot in Islamabad's housing schemes or in Gujar Khan, renting out a flat in Rawalpindi, receiving profit from a bank account held in Pakistan proper, or taking a job with a company based there. In each case, an FBR NTN and a filed return either are required or lower the tax.
British Mirpuris Investing at Home
Many of Britain's Pakistani families trace their roots to Mirpur, and many still invest in property here and in Pakistan proper. A UK-based Mirpuri can register on IRIS with a NICOP, using an email and a phone number that receives FBR's codes, and file online every year without visiting Pakistan.
Mangla Raising Compensation
Families resettled when Mangla Dam was raised received compensation and new plots in New City and other settlements. Those plots and houses belong in the wealth statement of a family member who files with FBR.
Businesses Trading with Pakistan Proper
A Mirpur business supplying companies in Pakistan proper needs an FBR NTN to be paid without the higher withholding rate.
AJK Registration Stays Separate
The FBR NTN does not replace registration with AJK's tax authorities for income arising in Azad Kashmir.
