National Tax Number (NTN) registration is the first step to filing income tax returns, appearing on ATL, and operating a compliant business in Pakistan. FBR assigns NTN through the IRIS portal after verifying your CNIC or business incorporation documents.
Individual NTN registration
Salaried employees and freelancers register using CNIC, mobile number, and email. FBR links your profile to employer records where available. Without NTN you cannot file returns or obtain active filer benefits.
Business NTN registration
Companies, AOPs, and sole proprietors need additional documents — incorporation certificate, partnership deed, or business letterhead details. Sales tax registration may follow for traders and service providers.
Aasaan Tax registers individual and business NTNs, configures IRIS profiles, and prepares clients for first-year tax return filing — avoiding the common mistake of NTN without timely return submission.
