Crucial Information About VAT
Key Compliance Points
- VAT shall be levied on the taxable amount of every transaction of goods and services supplied into Nepal, imported into Nepal, and exported outside Nepal.
- A 13% VAT rate applies to transactions of goods and services other than those listed in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2.
- VAT returns are normally filed monthly by most businesses. Small taxpayers can apply to file on a trimester (every four months) basis if annual turnover does not exceed Rs. 10 million.
- Transactions exceeding Rs. 5 million for goods, Rs. 3 million for services, or goods and services within the last 12 months must be registered under VAT. Businesses may also apply for voluntary VAT registration at IRD.
- A registered person must submit the return for a one-month tax period within 25 days of the expiry of that period. If not filed on time, the penalty is the higher of 0.05% per day of chargeable VAT or Rs. 1,000 per tax period.
