Nepal Tax 2083/84

Nepal’s tax system for fiscal year 2083/84 — 2026-27 in the Gregorian calendar — across 14 chapters and 14 lessons. The income tax slabs as the Finance Act 2083 rewrote them, capital gains on listed shares and on land, deductions and exemptions, business income, withholding, the new transfer pricing regime, VAT, excise, customs, administration and penalties, and every relief in the 2083 amnesty with the deadline attached to it.

Written from the Finance Act 2083 and the statutes it amends — the Income Tax Act 2058, VAT Act 2052, Excise Duty Act 2058 and Customs Act 2064 — not from any firm’s summary.

Taught by Sandeep Kumar Chaudhary · free · physical and online · two weeks. He also teaches the bank financial statements course, Fundamental Analysis and technical analysis on this site.

Every rate on this page expires — read this first.

This is the one course on this site that prints tax rates as numbers, because stating them is the whole subject. That makes it the one course that goes out of date on a schedule: a Finance Act amends these rates every year, and a rate can also move mid-year by ordinance or by a Gazette notification. Every figure here is stamped with the fiscal year it belongs to. Before you file anything, verify it against the Inland Revenue Department and the Act in force for your period. In the lessons that flag is written [R] — regulation-dependent, verify before acting.

Worked examples use invented taxpayers so the arithmetic can be followed end to end. This is teaching material, not tax advice, and it is not a substitute for a registered tax practitioner on your own facts. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

Here for the share-market tax specifically? Go straight to capital gains — it covers the rates on listed shares, the weighted-average cost base, who withholds and when the tax becomes final.

Module 1 · Income and gains

  • Chapter 01

    Part 1 — The Budget in Numbers

    Where every rupee of the FY 2083/84 budget comes from and goes — and why the tax changes look the way they do.

  • Chapter 02

    Part 2 — Personal Income Tax

    The new unified slab schedule: threshold doubled to Rs 1 million, top rate cut to 29%, couple slabs abolished.

  • Chapter 03

    Part 3 — Capital Gains Tax

    Shares, land and buildings — every rate rose, and gains on shares became a final tax.

  • Chapter 04

    Part 4 — Deductions, Exemptions and Reliefs

    What comes off before the slabs apply, and what never enters the tax net at all.

Module 2 · Business and cross-border

  • Chapter 05

    Part 5 — Business Income Tax

    From accounting profit to taxable income, and the cash-transaction rule that now disallows more.

  • Chapter 06

    Part 6 — Withholding Tax and Advance Tax

    What is withheld, by whom, and the difference between advance tax and final tax.

  • Chapter 07

    Part 7 — Transfer Pricing, Safe Harbour and APAs

    Nepal's new cross-border pricing regime — who is an associated person and what safe harbour costs.

Module 3 · Indirect taxes

  • Chapter 08

    Part 8 — Value Added Tax

    The end of single-rate VAT: 0%, 5%, 13% and more, plus reverse charge and e-invoicing.

  • Chapter 09

    Part 9 — Excise Duty

    A control regime, not a revenue tax — stamps, track-and-trace and a halved strength tolerance.

  • Chapter 10

    Part 10 — Customs Duty

    Seven tiers, the green tax, and a value-based rethink of electric vehicle taxation.

Module 4 · Administration and amnesty

  • Chapter 11

    Part 11 — Tax Administration and Penalties

    Shorter audits, longer refunds, binding circulars and a Rs 500,000 software penalty.

  • Chapter 12

    Part 12 — The 2083 Amnesty

    Twenty-three reliefs and three deadlines — the most valuable Part for anyone with old arrears.

Module 5 · Applied and reference

Questions people actually ask

Which fiscal year does the Nepal Tax course cover?
Fiscal year 2083/84, which is 2026-27 in the Gregorian calendar. It is written from the Finance Act 2083 and the statutes it amends: the Income Tax Act 2058, the VAT Act 2052, the Excise Duty Act 2058 and the Customs Act 2064, not from any firm's summary. The fiscal year is in the URL, the title and the heading so a stale page can never be mistaken for a current one.
What does the course cover?
The budget in numbers, personal income tax and the rewritten slab schedule, capital gains on listed shares and on land and buildings, deductions and exemptions, business income, withholding and advance tax, the new transfer pricing regime with safe harbour and advance pricing agreements, VAT, excise, customs, administration and penalties, every relief in the 2083 amnesty with the deadline attached to it, four taxpayers worked end to end, and a formula sheet, filing checklist and glossary.
Does it cover capital gains tax on NEPSE shares?
Yes. Part 3 covers the rates on listed shares as the Finance Act 2083 set them for 2083/84, the holding-period rule and the day that decides it, how the gain is computed as disposal proceeds less cost base, what sits between the sale price and your bank account, who withholds the tax and when it becomes final. It deliberately does not print broker commission slabs or the SEBON fee as numbers, because SEBON revises them.
Are the rates in the course current?
Only for fiscal year 2083/84. A Finance Act amends tax rates every year, and a rate can also move mid-year by ordinance or Gazette notification, so this is the one course on the site that goes out of date on a schedule. Every figure is stamped with its fiscal year and flagged [R], and the course tells you to verify it against the Inland Revenue Department and the Act in force for your period before you file anything.
Is this tax advice?
No. It is teaching material. Worked examples use invented taxpayers so the arithmetic can be followed end to end, and nothing in the course is a substitute for a registered tax practitioner working on your own facts. It is also not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
Who teaches the course, and how is it delivered?
Sandeep Kumar Chaudhary, who also teaches the bank financial statements course, Fundamental Analysis and technical analysis on this site. It runs as a two-week cohort, taught physically and online, and it is free — the cohort and the full written version here alike, with no fee and no sign-up.

Twelve chapters of law, one of worked examples and one of reference — the formula sheet, the filing checklist and the glossary. Every lesson listed above exists; the counts here are read from the pages themselves rather than written by hand, so they cannot drift.
