How to calculate VAT in Nepal
Add VAT
Use this when you know the price before VAT.
VAT = amount × 0.13
Total = amount × 1.13
Remove VAT
Use this when a price already includes VAT.
Amount before VAT = total ÷ 1.13
VAT = total − amount before VAT
Worked examples
| Example | Before VAT | VAT 13% | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add VAT to रू 10,000 | रू 10,000.00 | रू 1,300.00 | रू 11,300.00 |
| Add VAT to रू 2,50,000 | रू 2,50,000.00 | रू 32,500.00 | रू 2,82,500.00 |
| Remove VAT from रू 11,300 | रू 10,000.00 | रू 1,300.00 | रू 11,300.00 |
| Remove VAT from रू 1,00,000 | रू 88,495.58 | रू 11,504.42 | रू 1,00,000.00 |
A common mistake is taking 13% of a VAT-inclusive total. On रू 11,300 that gives रू 1,469, but the VAT included is only रू 1,300.

What is the VAT rate in Nepal?
The standard VAT rate in Nepal is 13%. Exports are zero-rated (0%), and some goods and services, such as many basic food items, health and education services, are exempt.
How do I add 13% VAT to a price?
Multiply the amount before VAT by 0.13 to get the VAT, then add it to the amount. For example, रू 10,000 × 0.13 = रू 1,300 VAT, so the total is रू 11,300. You can also multiply by 1.13 directly.
How do I remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive total?
Divide the total by 1.13 to get the amount before VAT, then subtract that from the total to get the VAT. For example, रू 11,300 ÷ 1.13 = रू 10,000, so the VAT is रू 1,300. Do not simply take 13% of the total, because that overstates the VAT.
Who has to register for VAT in Nepal?
Businesses whose annual turnover goes above the registration threshold must register with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD), and some sectors must register regardless of turnover. The thresholds are different for goods and services and are set in each year's Finance Act, so check the current figures with the IRD or your accountant.
Does this calculator round like a tax invoice?
Yes. Amounts are rounded to the nearest paisa, and the VAT is worked out from the rounded taxable amount, so the taxable amount plus VAT always equals the total exactly.
Do RovixCloud prices include VAT?
Prices on our website exclude VAT. 13% VAT is added at checkout and shown on your invoice.
