Telenor Tax Certificate Download Online (2026 Guide)

If you use Telenor for mobile or internet, withholding tax has been quietly deducted from every recharge. That money isn't gone — it's recoverable. The Telenor tax certificate is the official document that proves how much was deducted, and without it you cannot claim the adjustment in your annual income tax return.

What Is a Telenor Tax Certificate?

A Telenor tax certificate (officially the Withholding Tax Statement) is the document Telenor Pakistan issues to confirm how much advance income tax it collected from your mobile or internet usage during a chosen period.

This tax is deducted under Section 236 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Every recharge, bill, or top-up has a percentage withheld as advance tax and remitted to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on your behalf. The certificate consolidates those daily deductions into a single statement.

The key point: this is an adjustable advance tax, not a final tax. Every rupee shown on your Telenor tax certificate can be claimed against your annual income tax liability, which reduces the tax you owe or increases your refund.

Why You Need a Telenor Tax Certificate

Most mobile users pay this tax all year without ever claiming it back. The certificate matters because:

• You can claim a tax adjustment in your FBR return. The amount on the certificate is entered against your tax liability in IRIS. No certificate, no claim.
• It increases your refund. When your total withholding exceeds your actual liability, the excess is refundable — but only if it is documented.
• It serves as proof for employers and auditors. Salaried filers are sometimes asked to provide withholding evidence; this certificate is the accepted record.

Method 1 — Download Your Telenor Tax Certificate via the My Telenor App

This is the fastest method and the one Telenor actively maintains.

1. Download My Telenor from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPhone).
2. Register with your Telenor mobile number and log in.
3. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the top right of the home screen.
4. Select Tax Certificate from the menu.
5. Enter your CNIC, the tax year you need (July to June), and the email address where the PDF should be delivered.
6. Tap Proceed. A verification code (OTP) is sent to your Telenor number.
7. Enter the OTP and tap Download.

The certificate appears on screen and a copy lands in your inbox within minutes. Save the PDF; you'll need it during return filing.

Method 2 — Get Your Telenor Tax Certificate via Website Chat

If you don't have the app, the website chat is the next-fastest route.

1. Visit telenor.com.pk.
2. Click Help & Support at the top right corner.
3. Click Telenor Customer Care at the bottom right of the page.
4. Fill out the form with your name and Telenor mobile number.
5. In the live chat, request your tax certificate for the desired tax year. Have your CNIC ready — the agent will ask.

The agent emails the PDF directly. Typical response time is 5 to 15 minutes during business hours.

Method 3 — Phone the Telenor Helpline

Telenor's helpline can issue the certificate over a single call.

• From your Telenor number: dial 345
• From any other number: dial 042-111-345-100

Follow the voice prompts, provide your CNIC and the tax year you need, and request the certificate be emailed to you. The PDF arrives shortly after the call ends.

Method 4 — Request Your Telenor Tax Certificate by Email

If you prefer written communication, send an email to telenor345@telenor.com.pk with:

• Scanned CNIC (both sides, PDF preferred)
• Your Telenor mobile number
• The tax year you need (for example, 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 for Tax Year 2025)
• The email address where the PDF should be sent

Use a clear subject line such as “Request for Telenor Tax Certificate – Tax Year 2025”. Typical turnaround is one to two working days.

Method 5 — Visit a Telenor Franchise

If none of the digital methods work, walk into any Telenor franchise with your CNIC. Staff issue the certificate on the spot. Useful if your mobile number is not registered against your own CNIC and you need to verify ownership in person.

Which Tax-Year Dates Should You Select?

The certificate period must match the Pakistan tax year, which runs July to June — not the calendar year.

Tax Year	Period to Select
Tax Year 2026	1 July 2025 – 30 June 2026
Tax Year 2025	1 July 2024 – 30 June 2025
Tax Year 2024	1 July 2023 – 30 June 2024

When you file your return for Tax Year 2025, for example, you select the July 2024 to June 2025 range — not January to December.

How Much Tax Does Telenor Deduct?

Mobile services in Pakistan attract advance income tax under Section 236 at a higher rate than landline or broadband. The exact percentage is set by the Finance Act and is revised annually. The deduction applies uniformly to all subscribers; non-filers cannot claim it back, while filers can.

You don't need to calculate this yourself — the certificate states the exact rupee amount deducted, and that's the figure you enter in IRIS. For current rates across all withholding sections, see our Pakistan withholding tax rates lookup.

How to Claim Your Telenor Tax Certificate in Your FBR Return

1. Download your certificate for the correct tax year.
2. Log in to FBR IRIS and open your income tax return.
3. Under Adjustable Tax, locate the entry for telephone/internet bills under Section 236.
4. Enter the total tax shown on your Telenor certificate.
5. The amount is automatically adjusted against your liability — reducing tax payable or adding to your refund.

Keep the PDF on file in case FBR requests supporting evidence. While you're in IRIS, check your filer status using our free Bulk ATL Checker — staying on the Active Taxpayer List keeps your future Telenor (and other) withholding rates at the filer level.

Telenor Tax Certificate: Common Problems & Quick Fixes

• Wrong information on the certificate? Contact Telenor customer care via 345 and request a revised version with correct details.
• Didn't receive the email? Check your spam or junk folder first, then resubmit the request through a different channel.
• App not working? Update the My Telenor app, clear cache, or use the website chat or email method instead.
• SIM not registered against your CNIC? Visit a franchise with the actual SIM owner's CNIC. Telenor cannot issue a certificate to a name that doesn't match the SIM record.
• Need a certificate for multiple years? Request them separately — one certificate per tax year is the standard format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Telenor tax certificate free?

Yes. All five methods — app, web chat, phone, email, and franchise — are free of charge.

Can I get a Telenor tax certificate for previous years?

Yes. Telenor maintains historic records and can issue certificates for past tax years. Just specify the tax year (July to June) when requesting.

Do non-filers pay Telenor withholding tax?

Yes. The tax is collected from every Telenor subscriber. But only filers can claim it back in their return, which is one more reason to file. Verify your filer status using our ATL Checker.

Is Telenor withholding tax adjustable or final?

It is adjustable advance tax under Section 236. The full amount shown on your Telenor tax certificate can be claimed against your annual income tax liability in your FBR return.

What information is on a Telenor tax certificate?

The certificate shows your CNIC, registered name, Telenor mobile number, tax year covered, monthly breakdown of recharges, total tax deducted, and the section of the Income Tax Ordinance under which it was collected.

Do I need a separate certificate for each Telenor SIM I own?

Yes. Each Telenor mobile number generates its own withholding tax statement. If you have multiple Telenor SIMs registered against your CNIC, request a certificate for each number and total them when claiming.

What is the difference between a Telenor bill and a Telenor tax certificate?

A monthly bill or recharge receipt shows the amount you paid. The Telenor tax certificate shows the withholding tax deducted over a chosen period. Only the certificate is valid evidence for an FBR claim.

Don't Leave Claimable Tax on the Table

Mobile withholding deductions are small per recharge. Across a year, and combined with your PTCL, banking, and other deductions, they add up to real money you can recover.

Our Pakistan income tax team collects every withholding certificate — Telenor, PTCL, banking, and more — so each claimable rupee is captured in your return. Book a free consultation.
