Getting Started
What is an NTN and why do I need one?
An NTN (National Tax Number) is the unique identifier FBR uses to track your tax record. You need one to file a tax return, appear on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL), and qualify for lower withholding tax rates on banking, property, and other transactions.
How do I get started with DMK Consultants?
Fill out the consultation form on our Contact page, message us on WhatsApp, or call our team directly. We’ll confirm which service fits your situation and share the exact document list before you pay anything.
Do I need to visit an office for NTN or tax filing?
No. The entire process, from sharing documents to reviewing your final return, is handled online through WhatsApp, email, or our website form.
NTN Registration
How long does NTN registration take?
Most individual and business NTN registrations are completed in 1-2 working days once we have your complete documents. Partnership/AOP registrations typically take 2-3 working days.
What documents are required for NTN registration?
At minimum, a colour copy of your CNIC, an active phone number, and an email address. Business registrations also need a letterhead or trade name, and partnerships need a registered partnership deed for all partners. A recent electricity bill speeds up verification if you have one.
Tax Filing
Can I file my tax return completely online?
Yes. Share your details through our secure form, WhatsApp, or email, and our consultants prepare your return, send it to you for review, then file it with FBR on your behalf.
What happens if I miss the tax filing deadline?
Non-filers face higher withholding tax rates on banking, property, and other transactions, and may receive notices from FBR. We recommend filing on time, but late and overdue returns can still be filed.
Can you file late or overdue tax returns?
Yes. We regularly help clients catch up on overdue returns from previous tax years and get back into compliance, though penalties and surcharges set by FBR may still apply.
Payments & Security
Is my financial data safe with DMK Consultants?
Yes. Your documents and financial details are kept private, used only to complete your filing, and never shared with third parties.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfer, Easypaisa, and JazzCash. Ask your consultant about pay-after-filing options for select services.
