NTN, or National Tax Number, is a unique identifier assigned to individuals and businesses in Pakistan for tax purposes. It is issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and is essential for filing tax returns, making tax payments, and conducting various financial transactions. Having an NTN is crucial for compliance with tax laws in Pakistan. It helps the government track taxpayers and ensures that everyone contributes their fair share to public finances. Individuals and businesses can apply for an NTN online or through designated offices, making the process accessible and straightforward.
