Dear Sir,
Filing an income tax return is a separate matter and becoming a Active Taxpayer in FBR Active taxpayer List (ATL) is separate matter.
Your question about ATL is quite common these days.well
the answer of your question is that u have got NTN in 2017 thus income
tax return 2016-17 does not applicable for u. If u wanted to got active
at once then u should have selected business start date from 01/07/2013
and u needed to file the Income tax returns of Tax year 2014-15-16
respectively along with wealth statement.
In your case the income tax return of tax year 2017-18 will be applicable to u.If u have submitted the 2016-17 return then u may be active in ATL in March 2018.If u have any other question feel free to ask.
