Swabi residents register for an NTN to deal with tobacco companies, run curing or trading businesses, or buy property and vehicles at filer rates.
Tobacco Dealers and Curing Barns
Cigarette companies and leaf dealers buying from Swabi's growers pay through banks. Dealers and barn operators who sell to companies are asked for an FBR NTN and withheld at lower rates once they file.
Growers Selling Under Contract
Growers selling their own leaf under company contracts are increasingly asked for registration details for payment, even though their income is agricultural.
Gulf Workers Buying at Home
Workers abroad can register with a NICOP and file online so that land and vehicles bought at home attract the filer rate.

Banks open business accounts after registration.

Departments in the district require registered contractors.
How to Register
