Kathmandu. With the aim of providing relief to citizens and businessmen through the budget of the next financial year, the Government of Nepal has canceled some of the taxes and fees imposed in the past and has significantly reduced some of them. These new arrangements have been introduced in the tax system to make the tax scope practical and encourage domestic production and digital economy.
Petroleum tax adjusted to green tax, gold luxury duty removed
According to the new system, infrastructure development tax of Rs 10 per liter and road maintenance and improvement tax of Rs 4 per liter have been completely abolished. However, the tax levied under both these headings in the past has now been adjusted to 'Green Tax' and the rate has been slightly increased.
Similarly, the government has completely removed the 2% luxury tax imposed on the sale of gold and gold jewelery to provide relief to consumers. Now, instead of that, only 0.5 percent will be charged as 'Skill Promotion Fee'.
