Audit, tax, and advisory services for mining, quarrying, and mineral processing businesses in Nepal.
Industry context
Nepal’s mineral sector covers limestone and cement-grade mining, dolomite, magnesite, marble, slate, sand and aggregate quarrying, and emerging exploration activity in metallic minerals. Operators work under licences issued by the Department of Mines and Geology, alongside environmental clearances, royalty obligations, and forest and land-use approvals. The sector intersects with significant cement and construction-materials manufacturing operations.
For mineral businesses, finance teams handle royalty calculations, exploration and development cost accounting, depletion of mineral reserves under NFRS, decommissioning and site rehabilitation provisions, and the VAT and excise treatment of processed mineral products. Operators with foreign technical partners also navigate cross-border payments and transfer pricing.
