NTN (National Tax Number) is your unique FBR registration number — required for filing tax returns, opening commercial bank accounts, registering companies, becoming a filer, and claiming lower withholding tax rates. You can register online through IRIS at iris.fbr.gov.pk. For most individuals, NTN registration is completed same day.
Kamboh Associates registers NTN in Online same day — 100% online via WhatsApp. No FBR office visit needed. Cost: Rs. 2,000 for individuals, Rs. 3,000 for businesses.
Who Needs an NTN
- Anyone who wants to file an income tax return
- Salaried employees, freelancers, business owners, landlords
- Anyone buying property (buyer and seller both need NTN)
- Anyone opening a business bank account
- Any person registering a company with SECP
- Freelancers receiving foreign payments (Wise, Payoneer, PayPal)
Good news: For Pakistani nationals, your CNIC number itself can serve as your NTN for individual returns. However, formal NTN registration on IRIS gives you full access to IRIS portal, allows e-filing, and is required for business registrations.

NTN Registration — Profession Ke Mutabiq Guide
Salaried Employee
Employer WHT kaat raha hai — lekin NTN aur return filing zaruri hai ATL mein rehne ke liye. NTN se refund bhi claim ho sakta hai agar zyada WHT kata gaya. Documents: CNIC, employer certificate, salary slip.
Freelancer / IT Professional
Foreign income (Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal, Wise, Payoneer) par 0.25% FTR rate milti hai registered freelancers ko — unregistered par 1%. PSEB certificate ke saath rate aur bhi zyada favorable. NTN + return essential hai.
Property Dealer / Owner
Property par har transaction mein 236C/236K WHT lagti hai — filer aur non-filer mein double ka farq. Ek property deal mein NTN ki cost (Rs 2,000–3,500) easily recover ho jaati hai. Same day NTN + ATL — aaj NTN banwao, kal property deal karo.
Business Owner
Business NTN mein bank account opening, import/export, sales tax registration, tender participation — sab ke liye NTN zaruri hai. AOP ya company ka NTN alag hota hai individual NTN se. Business address proof zaruri hai.
