Overview

Your First Step Into the Tax System

The National Tax Number (NTN) is your identity with the Federal Board of Revenue. For individuals, the 13-digit CNIC number works as the NTN once you are registered on FBR’s IRIS portal. Businesses, associations of persons and companies receive their own registration number. You need an NTN to file a tax return, open many business accounts, apply for tenders, register for sales tax and become a filer.

Registration looks simple, but applications are often delayed because of a mobile number not registered in the applicant’s name, wrong address details or missing business information. We prepare and submit the registration correctly, verify the codes with you, and hand over your IRIS credentials and registration certificate.

Good to Know

Things to Know Before You Register

Your CNIC is your NTN

For individuals, FBR uses the 13-digit CNIC as the National Tax Number. If you have registered before, you may already have an IRIS account, and we can help you recover it instead of registering again.

Use a mobile number in your own name

FBR sends verification codes to your mobile number and email. The SIM should be biometrically registered in your own name. A family member’s number is the most common reason applications fail.

Registration is not the same as being a filer

Having an NTN registers you in the tax system, but you become an active filer only after you file your income tax return and your name appears on the Active Taxpayer List.
