What is NTN?
NTN stands for National Tax Number. It is the official tax identifier issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for companies, associations of persons (AOPs), and registered businesses in Pakistan. For individuals, the 13-digit CNIC number is used for tax registration purposes.
What is Company / NTN Registration?
Every business in Pakistan must have an NTN to operate legally, open bank accounts, and comply with federal tax regulations. Sole proprietors, while not registered with SECP, rely on their tax registration number as their primary business identity. At Wadho & Associates, we help you register, verify, update, and cancel your NTN with the FBR.
