Register a sole proprietorship (business as an individual) with FBR
ایف بی آر کے ساتھ واحد ملکیتی کاروبار (انفرادی کاروبار) کی رجسٹریشن
A sole proprietor is taxed as an individual, so the business is registered by adding its details to your own income tax registration on FBR's Iris portal, using your CNIC as the NTN. In Punjab, you can also register a sole proprietorship through the Punjab Business Registration Portal, which registers you with FBR automatically.
واحد ملکیتی کاروبار کا مالک انفرادی حیثیت میں ٹیکس دہندہ ہوتا ہے، اس لیے کاروبار کی تفصیلات ایف بی آر کے آئرس پورٹل پر آپ کی اپنی انکم ٹیکس رجسٹریشن میں شامل کی جاتی ہیں، اور آپ کا شناختی کارڈ نمبر ہی این ٹی این ہوتا ہے۔ پنجاب میں آپ پنجاب بزنس رجسٹریشن پورٹل کے ذریعے بھی رجسٹر ہو سکتے ہیں، جو آپ کو خودکار طور پر ایف بی آر کے ساتھ بھی رجسٹر کر دیتا ہے۔
