Common questions about Filer Registration (ATL) — answered by our legal experts.
A Filer appears on FBR's Active Taxpayer List and pays reduced withholding tax rates. A Non-Filer pays significantly higher rates — often 2x or 3x more — on banking, property, and vehicle transactions.
Depending on your transactions, filers can save 1–3% on large banking withdrawals, property transactions, and vehicle registration. On a Rs. 1 crore property, this can save Rs. 1–3 lakh.
FBR typically updates the ATL list in March each year, based on returns filed by the previous December deadline.
No. You can file a nil income return to achieve Filer status even if you have no taxable income.
