Before you begin
Your questions, answered.
Does an NTN make me an active filer?
Registration and Active Taxpayer List status are separate. Check your current ATL status with FBR.
Is my NTN also a sales-tax registration?
No. Income-tax enrolment does not automatically register you for sales tax.
What identifier should I use?
Individuals generally use their 13-digit CNIC after registration. Companies and AOPs use a seven-digit NTN.
Can I verify my status on this page?
Use the official FBR verification link below. Verification takes place on FBR’s website; this site does not display a live taxpayer result.
Can I register on behalf of my company or AOP?
Yes. An authorised person, such as a director or partner, can handle registration with the relevant incorporation or partnership documents.
What if my registered details are incorrect or outdated?
You can request a correction to your Iris taxpayer profile. Get in touch and we can help identify what needs to be updated and how.
Do I need an NTN if my income is below the taxable limit?
You can still register even if your income is below the taxable threshold. Registration and tax liability are assessed separately.
