How we price this work
There is no standard price list, because the fee follows the scope and the depth of the work. We agree both in writing before anything starts.
- ScopeWhat is included, and what is not, set out in plain terms.
- Volume and condition of recordsClean, current books cost less to work from than a backlog.
- Depth and complexityA review is different from a full defence, filing or build.
- DeadlineWork against a fixed date, such as a reply to the IRD, is planned around it.
One-off work is quoted as a fixed fee for a defined scope. Ongoing work is a monthly retainer. The first 30-minute call is free, and you leave it with an indication of the cost and the time involved, even if you decide not to hire us. Book a free call.
Questions people ask
When is the annual income tax return due for a private limited company in Nepal?
Within three months of the fiscal year end, by the end of Ashwin. The tax office can extend this by up to three months on application.
Can you help with an IRD tax assessment notice?
Yes. We review the assessment, gather supporting evidence, draft the response and prepare an administrative review application where needed. A review must be filed within 30 days, after paying the undisputed tax and a quarter of the disputed amount.
What is needed for a tax clearance certificate?
Returns filed for the relevant years and no outstanding tax, interest or fees. There is no fee for the certificate itself.
What is the difference between VAT filing and e-TDS?
VAT filing reports tax charged on sales and paid on purchases. e-TDS reports tax withheld from payments such as salary, rent and service fees. Both are due within 25 days of month end, and e-TDS must be verified to count as filed.
