Business Tax Calendar: What to File and When (Overview)
A plain-language map of business tax duties: registration, advance tax, returns and audit triggers.
By DigitalNepal · Updated 2026-10-04
Business tax pain comes from surprises, not rates. A simple yearly calendar of registrations, instalments, returns and renewals prevents nearly all penalties.
Steps
1Register everything once
PAN/VAT, municipal registration and sector licences. Unregistered operation multiplies later fines.
2Track advance tax dates
Instalment schedules punish delay with interest. Put all three dates in your calendar now.
3Close books monthly
Monthly reconciliation turns year-end from a crisis into a routine. Hire a part-time accountant early.
4Know audit triggers
Turnover thresholds and discrepancies invite scrutiny. Clean records are the cheapest insurance.
Good to know: Rates and thresholds in this guide are structural, not current figures. Confirm every number against the current fiscal year's budget and IRD notices.

FAQ
Hire a CA from day one?
At least consult one at setup. Wrong structures and missed registrations cost far more than advice.
