Nepal VAT Calculator (13%) and VAT Registration Checker
Add or remove 13% VAT and check whether your turnover requires VAT registration.
How it works
VAT in Nepal is 13%. To add VAT, multiply the price by 1.13; to find the VAT inside a VAT-inclusive total, multiply by 13 ÷ 113. A business must register for VAT once its turnover passes NPR 50 lakh (goods) or NPR 30 lakh (services or mixed) in 12 months.

VAT formulas
| You have | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Price before VAT | VAT = price × 0.13 | NPR 10,000 → VAT NPR 1,300, total NPR 11,300 |
| Total including VAT | VAT = total × 13 ÷ 113 | NPR 11,300 → VAT NPR 1,300 |
| Total including VAT | Price = total ÷ 1.13 | NPR 11,300 → NPR 10,000 |
After you register
VAT-registered businesses issue tax invoices and file a return by the 25th of the following month — even for months without sales. Our monthly VAT return checklist walks through it.
