कर तिर्ने समय एक महिना थपियोGovernment Extends Tax Payment Deadline by One Month
काठमाडौं । सरकारले कर तिर्ने समयसीमा एक महिना थप गरेको छ। आन्तरिक राजस्व विभागका महानिर्देशक मदन दाहालका अनुसार, भदौ २५ गतेभित्र बुझाइसक्नुपर्ने साउन महिनाको कर अब एक महिना पछि बुझाउन सकिने भएको हो।
“कर तिर्ने समय एक महिना थप्ने निर्णय भइसकेको छ। यसबारेको सूचना छिट्टै राजपत्रमा प्रकाशित हुनेछ,” दाहालले जानकारी दिए।
विद्यमान कानुनअनुसार मूल्य अभिवृद्धि कर (भ्याट), अन्तःशूल्कलगायत कर प्रत्येक महिनाको २५ गतेभित्र कर कार्यालयमा बुझाउनुपर्ने व्यवस्था छ। तर यसपटकको जेन–जी आन्दोलन र पछिल्ला राजनीतिक घटनाक्रमका कारण उद्योगी–व्यवसायीहरूले समयमै कर बुझाउन नसकेको भन्दै सरकारसँग समय थप गर्न आग्रह गरेका थिए।
मंगलबार दिउँसो निजी क्षेत्रसँगको भेटमा अर्थमन्त्री रामेश्वरप्रसाद खनालले कर तिर्ने समय एक महिना थप्ने आश्वासन दिएका थिए। साथै, आन्दोलनका क्रममा सार्वजनिक तथा निजी क्षेत्रका सम्पत्तिमा भएको क्षतिको पुनर्निर्माणका लागि छुट्टै कोष खडा गर्ने पनि उनले जानकारी दिएका छन्।
Kathmandu – The government has extended the tax payment deadline by one month. According to Madan Dahal, Director General of the Inland Revenue Department, businesses that were required to pay taxes for the month of Shrawan by Bhadra 25 will now have an additional month to make the payment.
“The decision to extend the tax deadline by one month has already been made, and an official notice will soon be published in the Nepal Gazette,” Dahal stated.
As per existing law, Value Added Tax (VAT), excise duty, and other taxes must be paid to the respective tax office by the 25th of every month. However, due to the Gen-Z movement and recent political turmoil, industrialists and entrepreneurs were unable to clear their dues on time and had requested an extension.
During a meeting with the private sector on Tuesday afternoon, Finance Minister Rameshwor Prasad Khanal assured that the deadline would be extended. He also announced that a special fund will be established to support the reconstruction of public and private properties damaged during the protests.
