FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) 2025-26 - How to Check
What the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) is, how to check your status by CNIC/NTN, ATL surcharge, filer vs non-filer rates, and getting back on the list.
What is ATL?
The Active Taxpayer List is a public list maintained weekly by FBR of taxpayers who filed their last return on time. Being on ATL means lower withholding tax across the board.
ATL vs non-ATL example
Cash withdrawal over PKR 50,000: ATL filers pay 0.6%, non-ATL pay 1.2%. Vehicle token tax, property purchase, and dividend tax all double for non-ATL.
How to get on ATL
File your annual return before 30 September. Pay the surcharge (PKR 1,000 for individuals, PKR 10,000 for companies) if you missed the deadline.
