Annex 5 (अनुसूची-५): बिक्री खाता Rules
Under Rule 23(1)(a) of the Nepal VAT Rules 2053, every registered seller must record all sales transactions in chronologically sequential order before releasing goods:
- Mandatory Buyer PAN: For any B2B sale exceeding Rs. 10,000, recording the customer's 9-digit PAN is strictly mandatory per Finance Act directives.
- Zero-Rated Exports: Goods exported abroad must carry 0% VAT with the official Customs Declaration (प्रज्ञापनपत्र नं.) recorded in the final column.
- Exempt Items: Agricultural goods, basic groceries, and medical supplies must be separated into the "कर छुट" column.
Annex 6 (अनुसूची-६): खरिद खाता Rules
Under Rule 23(1)(b), businesses claim Input Tax Credit (कट्टी) against output VAT liabilities. Clean documentation is the #1 defense during IRD audits:
- Local vs Import Segregation: Local vendor VAT bills go into Local Taxable, while customs border declarations go into Import Taxable (पैठारी मूल्य).
- Disallowed Input Tax: Passenger motor cars permit only 40% input tax credit. Entertainment, alcohol, and petroleum for cars permit 0% VAT credit.
- Cash Expense Limit: Business purchase bills exceeding Rs. 50,000 paid in physical cash are disallowed under Section 21 of the Income Tax Act.
Monthly IRD Filing Deadlines & Penalties
The 25-Day Rule
Under Section 18, transactions conducted in any Nepali month (e.g. Shrawan) must have their Annex 5 & 6 summarized, VAT return filed (अनुसूची १०), and tax deposited by the 25th of the following month (Bhadra 25).
Late Filing Fines
Delaying your monthly return triggers a statutory penalty of 0.05% per day on unpaid tax or Rs. 1,000 per month (whichever is higher) plus 15% annual interest on delayed VAT liability.
6-Year Retention Mandate
Under Section 16, taxpayers are legally bound to store all physical Sales Books, Purchase Books, Customs clearance manifests, and bank receipts for at least 6 years from the end of the tax year.
