About this service
A business needs to be registered with FBR before it can file returns, open most business bank accounts or work with larger customers. How the NTN is obtained depends on the form of the business.
- Sole proprietor: the business is added to the owner's existing NTN (the CNIC number).
- Partnership / AOP: the firm gets its own NTN, separate from the partners.
- Company: the company has its own NTN, which is generally generated as part of SECP incorporation; we confirm it and complete the FBR profile.
We prepare the registration on IRIS with the correct business activity, address and principal officer, so that later applications — such as sales tax registration — are not held up by errors in the profile.
Documents required
- CNIC of the owner, partners or directors
- For a partnership: partnership deed and registration certificate, if registered
- For a company: certificate of incorporation and memorandum and articles of association
- Authority letter for the person who will act as principal officer
- Business address with a paid utility bill and rent agreement or ownership proof
- Mobile number and email for the business
Exact requirements depend on your case. Your officer will confirm the final list after reviewing your details.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate NTN for my shop?
If you are a sole proprietor, no: the shop is added to your own NTN. Partnerships and companies need their own NTN.
I already have a personal NTN. What changes?
For a sole proprietorship we add the business to your existing profile. Your personal registration and filing history stay as they are.
What do I have to file after getting a business NTN?
At least an annual income tax return. Sales tax returns and withholding statements may also apply, depending on your registrations and payments.
