— What is an NTN

Your tax identity with FBR

The National Tax Number is how the Federal Board of Revenue recognises you as a registered taxpayer. It's issued through the Iris portal and is the first step before you can file a return or get on the Active Taxpayer List.

For salaried people it's a personal NTN; for a business or freelancer it's a business NTN that lets you invoice and bank properly.

Get on the ATL
Filing your return puts you on the FBR Active Taxpayer List — proof you're a compliant, registered taxpayer.
Lower withholding tax
ATL filers pay reduced withholding on banking transactions, property, and vehicle registration.
Invoice & bank properly
An NTN lets you raise proper invoices and open a business bank account.
Avoid non-filer penalties
Non-filers face higher tax rates and extra deductions on everyday transactions.

NTN registration FAQ

NTN stands for National Tax Number — your tax registration with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), issued through the Iris portal. You need it to invoice, open a business bank account, file taxes and get on the Active Taxpayer List.
The Active Taxpayer List is FBR's public record of people who've filed their tax return. Being on it gives you lower withholding-tax rates on banking transactions, property purchases and vehicle registration. Non-filers pay noticeably more on the same transactions.
If you only earn a salary, the salaried plan registers a personal NTN and gets you on the ATL. If you run a business or freelance and need to invoice clients or open a business account, choose the business / freelancer plan for a business NTN with sales-tax guidance.
FBR registration is charged at cost on top of the Taxly fee, with no markup. Government fees can change and are indicative — we'll always confirm before we proceed.
