Nepal VAT Calculator — Add or Remove 13% VAT Instantly

Nepal's standard Value Added Tax (VAT) rate is 13%, as set under the VAT Act 2052. It applies to most goods and services sold by VAT-registered businesses, with a small list of goods (like basic food grains, books, and medicines) exempted or zero-rated.

Multiply the taxable (VAT-exclusive) amount by 0.13 to get the VAT amount, then add it to the original amount for the total. For example, Rs. 1,000 × 0.13 = Rs. 130 VAT, giving a VAT-inclusive total of Rs. 1,130.

Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1.13 to get the original taxable amount, then subtract that from the inclusive amount to get the VAT portion. For example, an inclusive price of Rs. 1,130 ÷ 1.13 = Rs. 1,000 taxable, meaning Rs. 130 was VAT.

This tool is for quick estimates and price-tagging only. For statutory IRD tax invoices — which require serial numbering, seller/buyer PAN, and Annex 5/6 register entries — use dedicated billing software like ByaparOS rather than manual calculation, to avoid rounding or compliance errors.

Only businesses registered for VAT with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) are required to charge and collect VAT. Small businesses below the VAT registration threshold typically issue PAN (Abbreviated Tax Invoice) bills without VAT instead, until they cross the threshold or register voluntarily.
