Step by Step Guide to Register an NTN Number in Pakistan

Taxes are an individual’s contribution to the government funds which are used for providing public services. Every earning citizen has to pay a certain portion of their income in order to play their part in funding various public expenditures. In Pakistan people with an annual income of under Rs. 600,000 do not have to pay any income tax while those with an annual income of over Rs. 600,000 but under Rs. 1,200,000 have to pay 5% income tax on the amount exceeding Rs. 600,000. Neglecting to pay taxes might be punishable by law, which is why it is of great importance to be registered with the Federal Board of Revenue.
