Every business in Pakistan needs a National Tax Number (NTN) before it can legally invoice clients, open a business bank account, or register for sales tax. AverroTax registers sole proprietors and business individuals with FBR — fully online, from anywhere in Pakistan.
An NTN is the starting point for almost every other registration — sales tax, PSEB, import/export, and more.
Shopkeepers, traders, and service providers operating under their own name or a business name.
Anyone invoicing clients locally or internationally needs an NTN to stay compliant and get paid properly.
Two or more partners running a business together need a separate AOP registration and NTN.
SECP-registered companies also need a company NTN before opening a bank account or filing returns.
From first-time registration to getting your certificate ready for the bank.
See roughly how much extra tax a non-filer pays compared to an Active Taxpayer on the same transaction.
Indicative rates based on common FBR withholding tax sections for filers vs non-filers. Actual rates depend on the specific transaction, asset type, and current Finance Act. Confirm exact figures with us before relying on this for a transaction.
Registering with FBR puts you on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) — and non-filers pay noticeably more on everyday transactions.

Most applications are processed within 1–3 working days once complete documents are submitted, though FBR can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods.
No, you can register for your NTN first and use it to open a business bank account afterward — most banks require the NTN as part of account opening.
NTN (National Tax Number) is for income tax; STRN (Sales Tax Registration Number) is separate and required only if your business deals in taxable goods or services above the registration threshold.
Yes — partnerships register as an Association of Persons (AOP) with their own NTN, separate from each partner's personal NTN.
