HOW TO APPLY ONLINE TO BECOME A TAX FILER IN PAKISTAN?

If you are filing taxes for the first time in Pakistan and have not yet registered, you must first do so by selecting the “Registration for Unregistered Person” button, which is circled in the image below.

Visit FBR’s website: Click on the tab “Registration for unregistered person”
Go to the FBR website: Choose "Registration for Unregistered Person" from the tabs.

The query is, “How do I submit taxes?” There is a procedure for FBR to register tax filers online. Open the “file income tax returns” option on the official FBR website if you already have a National Tax Number, or NTN. Next choose Iris logging as seen in the image below.

You may access Iris on the FBR website if you already have NTN.

Your phone number and email address will be confirmed when you click “submit” and provide all the necessary information via different codes delivered to your phone and email.

Fill out the form and click submit button once you have filled all personal details
Once you have entered all of your personal information, complete the form and click the submit button.

You will receive a text message with your registration number, which is identical to the CNIC number, along with a password and pin code after your phone number and email address have been validated. You may now use your registration/CNIC number and password to access your Iris account. Keep the pin code since you will want it once more to submit your wealth statement and income tax returns. Individuals without Iris login credentials who have a National Tax Number (NTN) or Registration Number can gain access by clicking on “E-enrollment for Registered Person.” We will go into great depth on the process of submitting tax returns in our upcoming blog.For those who are salaried, you will need to present a bank statement and the amount of taxes deducted. Any information pertaining to your earnings from the prior year, as well as, if you own property, the earnings from that property.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU FILE TAXES?

The Active Taxpayers List was previously updated on the fifteenth day of each month. Nonetheless, taxpayers experienced a lot of issues since they were unsure of whether they had filed or not. As a result, the Active Taxpayers List is now updated once a week. Every Sunday at noon, the ATL is updated. It is also posted by Monday. Banks, government agencies, and other agents categorize taxpayers as “filers” or “non-filers” in their database on a weekly basis. Did you find our guide on filing taxes to be useful?
