FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What documents do I need to file my income tax return?

Usually your CNIC, salary certificate or business records, bank statements / withholding tax certificates, and details of assets (property, vehicles, investments) and liabilities for the wealth statement.

How long does NTN registration take?

Once we have your CNIC, mobile number (registered in your name) and email, NTN registration is usually completed within 1–2 working days.

How do I become an active taxpayer (filer)?

File your income tax return on time. Your name then appears on FBR’s Active Taxpayer List (ATL). Late filers can still join the ATL by paying the Section 182A surcharge: Rs 25,000 for individuals, Rs 50,000 for AOPs and Rs 100,000 for companies (Finance Act 2026).

What is the penalty for filing my return late?

Under Section 182, the penalty is the higher of 0.1% of tax payable per day or Rs 1,000 per day, with a minimum of Rs 10,000 for salaried individuals and Rs 50,000 for others, capped at 200% of tax payable. It is reduced by 75%, 50% or 25% if you file within one, two or three months of the due date. Use our penalty estimator in the Tax Knowledge Centre.

How much more tax do non-filers pay?

Persons not on the ATL generally suffer 100% higher withholding tax — for example 11.5% instead of 2.75% on property sale, 40% instead of 20% on bank profit, and three times the tax on vehicle registration. Filing your return is almost always cheaper.

I received a notice from FBR. What should I do?

Don’t ignore it — notices have strict deadlines. Send us a copy on WhatsApp and we’ll review it and prepare a proper reply.

Do freelancers need to file tax returns?

Yes. Freelancers earning from abroad benefit from reduced tax rates on export remittances, especially when registered with PSEB. Filing also keeps you on the ATL.

Can you help me if I live outside Pakistan?

Yes. We handle everything online for overseas Pakistanis — NTN, returns and property-related tax matters.
