- Tax, Company Registration and Legal Services Across Pakistan
Answers to common questions about income tax, FBR and IRIS, sales tax, company registration and legal documents in Pakistan.
Returns, NTN and the Active Taxpayer List.
Individuals whose taxable income is above the taxable limit, as well as companies and associations of persons, must file. Many others file voluntarily to become filers and pay lower withholding tax.
For most individuals and AOPs, the return is due by 30 September after the tax year ends on 30 June, unless FBR extends the date.
Register on IRIS, file your income tax return with a wealth statement, and your name is added to the Active Taxpayer List.
Use FBR’s ATL search with your CNIC or NTN, or send an SMS in the format “ATL (space) 13-digit CNIC” to 9966.
For individuals, yes. Once you are registered on IRIS, your 13-digit CNIC works as your National Tax Number.
