Invoicing in Nepal

A business registered in Nepal charges VAT at a standard rate of ⁨13%⁩, invoices in ⁨NPR⁩, and issues documents under names and numbering rules that are specific to Nepal. DocsOrigin carries all of that as registry data, so choosing Nepal once configures the tax, the document set, the numbering and the layout together.

Invoicing in Nepal is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure

Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.

Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Document types recognised in Nepal

Tax identifier

On a document issued in Nepal the identifier is labelled VAT number. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.

No structural check is applied for Nepal: the format is accepted as entered, because a wrong rule that rejects a valid number is worse than no rule.

Numbering

Documents in Nepal are expected to run in an unbroken sequence. DocsOrigin allocates the number at the moment of issue — never earlier — so a draft that is abandoned does not burn a number and leave a gap you have to explain.

Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.

How Nepal writes dates and money

⁨NPR⁩ is written with ⁨2⁩ decimal places, and every amount is stored as a whole number of minor units. ⛔ Money never touches floating point.

A worked example in Nepal

Three lines, priced identically everywhere, run through the real tax engine with the Nepal registry entry applied. This is what the document looks like there.

Invoicing in Nepal — questions

What tax rate do I charge in Nepal?

The standard VAT rate recorded for Nepal is ⁨13%⁩. Reduced rates may apply to particular supplies, and your own setting always overrides ours.

Which document do I issue to a customer in Nepal?

The document set recognised in Nepal is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Mva-faktura, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.

Does DocsOrigin cost anything in Nepal?

No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in Nepal as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.

What if the rate for Nepal is wrong or changes?

Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.

Issue your first Nepal document

Choose Nepal once. The tax, the document names, the numbering, the date order and the currency format are configured together, and it costs nothing.
