Practical tax and regulatory advice for businesses operating in Nepal’s constantly shifting landscape.
Nepal’s tax and regulatory environment changes constantly — new directives, evolving interpretations, and tighter enforcement. We help clients across sectors stay compliant, defend their positions when challenged, and structure transactions tax-efficiently. Our work spans income tax, VAT, customs, and sector-specific regulators including Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), the Beema Samiti, and the Cooperative Division.
Tax Audits
Independent tax audits required under the Income Tax Act and VAT Act, executed with the same rigour as our financial audit work. We focus on identifying exposure before the Inland Revenue Department does, and on building documentation that holds up under scrutiny.
- Statutory tax audits under the Income Tax Act and VAT Act
- Pre-assessment reviews to identify exposure and refund opportunities
- Documentation reviews for transfer pricing and related-party transactions
- Reports tailored for management, boards, and tax authorities
Tax Advice, Return Filing & Consulting
Day-to-day tax compliance and the strategic advice that sits behind it. We handle income tax, VAT, and TDS filings, advise on the tax implications of transactions and restructurings, and help clients apply Nepal’s double tax avoidance treaties and sector-specific incentives.
- Income tax, VAT, and TDS return preparation and filing

Tax Dispute Defence & Resolution
When the Inland Revenue Department raises questions, having the right advisor matters. We represent clients through assessment, administrative review, and tribunal proceedings, building the technical case and managing the process from notice through to resolution.

- Settlement negotiation and voluntary disclosure programmes
- Strategic advice on long-running or high-stakes disputes
