ISLAMABAD: There are 88 parliamentarians who did not even bother to get themselves registered with the FBR or get a National Tax Number (NTN) which is the basic requirement for filing returns and thus they have paid no tax or their record is not available with the FBR, revealed the first report published by the newly-established Centre for Investigative Reporting in Pakistan (CIRP).
