Nowshera residents register for an NTN to supply the industrial estate and cement plants, take sand and gravel contracts, or buy property at filer rates.
Becoming a Vendor in the Nowshera Industrial Estate
Factories in the industrial estate along the GT Road buy packing cartons, chemicals, spare parts, canteen services and transport from local businesses. Their purchase departments maintain approved vendor lists, and the first documents they ask for are an FBR NTN and a bank account in the vendor's own name. Suppliers of goods are often asked for a sales tax registration number as well, and service providers for KPRA registration. A Pabbi carton maker or an Akora Khattak transporter who completes these registrations can be paid by bank transfer every month rather than chasing cash.
Hauling for the Cement Plants
Trucks carry clinker, coal and bagged cement to and from the plants in the Cherat hills. The plants withhold income tax on every freight bill, and the rate is lower for transporters who have filed a return for the latest year.
Sand and Gravel Suppliers
Contractors who extract river sand and gravel under leases and sell to builders in Peshawar and to government projects are asked for registration by larger buyers who need proper invoices.
Retirees from the Cantonment and Risalpur
Retired soldiers and airmen who invest their commutation in a pick-up, a shop or a share in a transport business should register when the business begins, so that its income is on record from the first year.
Workers Abroad
Workers in the Gulf can register with a NICOP and file online.
