Rawalakot residents register for an FBR NTN when they buy property in Pakistan proper, work for employers there, or receive income from Pakistani companies.
Poonch Families Buying in the Twin Cities
Families from Rawalakot, Hajira and Abbaspur regularly buy plots in Rawalpindi's housing schemes and flats in Islamabad, often with savings from army service or work in the Gulf. The buyer's advance tax at transfer under section 236K is much lower for an FBR active filer. Being a filer requires an FBR NTN and a return filed for the latest tax year, so the time to register is before the sale agreement, not on the day of transfer.
Young Graduates Taking Jobs Down-Country
Graduates of the University of Poonch who join banks, hospitals and telecom companies in Rawalpindi need their NTN for payroll; registering on IRIS also lets them file and claim refunds.
Retired Soldiers with Rented Property
Retirees who have bought shops in Rawalpindi to rent out register to declare the rent and claim any withholding by company tenants.
Workers in the Gulf
Rawalakot's workers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE can register with a NICOP and file online.
Poonch Income Stays with AJK
Income arising in Poonch itself is registered and reported with AJK's authorities, separately.
Applying
Registration is free; a Rawalakot address is accepted. See our FBR registration guide.
Contractors
Builders from Poonch who take subcontracts on projects in Pakistan proper need an FBR NTN to be paid without the higher withholding rate.
