Preparation

  • TIN: get an e-TIN first if you do not have one.
  • Mobile number biometrically registered with your own NID.
  • A computer: many features do not work on phones.
  • Documents: salary certificate, investments (savings certificates, FDR, DPS, insurance), bank statements, property details.

Good to know

  • You usually do not upload documents, only enter the information. Keep the papers for future reference.
  • The system calculates tax from your entries.
  • Each field has a (?) help icon; download the user manual from the portal.
  • Call the NBR call centre if needed.

Important: never try to register with a mobile number registered to someone else. Registration will fail and your TIN may be blocked.

Please note: tax law, the Finance Act and the online system can change every fiscal year. Check the latest National Board of Revenue (NBR) guidance before acting.
