How to Calculate 13% VAT in Nepal
VAT calculations are different depending on whether the entered price is before VAT or already includes VAT.
1. Formula to Add VAT
When the original price does not include VAT, calculate 13% of the base amount.
2. Formula to Remove VAT
When the entered amount already includes 13% VAT, divide the total by 1.13 to find the original price.
Example: Adding 13% VAT to Rs. 10,000
Suppose a taxable product has a base price of Rs. 10,000. To calculate the VAT, multiply the price by 13%.
VAT Calculation Breakdown
- Original price: Rs. 10,000
- VAT rate: 13%
- VAT amount: Rs. 1,300
- Total price: Rs. 11,300
Rs. 10,000 × 13 ÷ 100 = Rs. 1,300
Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 1,300 = Rs. 11,300
Example: Removing 13% VAT from Rs. 11,300
Suppose the final price of a product is Rs. 11,300, including 13% VAT. You can calculate the original price by dividing the total by 1.13.
VAT Removal Breakdown
- VAT-inclusive price: Rs. 11,300
- Original price: Rs. 10,000
- VAT amount: Rs. 1,300
- VAT rate: 13%
Rs. 11,300 ÷ 1.13 = Rs. 10,000
Rs. 11,300 − Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 1,300
Remember that removing VAT does not mean subtracting 13% directly from the VAT-inclusive total. You must divide by 1.13 to get the correct original price.
13% VAT Calculation Examples
The following examples show how 13% VAT changes different base prices.
VAT Calculation Table
| Base Price | VAT 13% | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Rs. 100 | Rs. 13 | Rs. 113 |
| Rs. 500 | Rs. 65 | Rs. 565 |
| Rs. 1,000 | Rs. 130 | Rs. 1,130 |
| Rs. 5,000 | Rs. 650 | Rs. 5,650 |
| Rs. 10,000 | Rs. 1,300 | Rs. 11,300 |
| Rs. 50,000 | Rs. 6,500 | Rs. 56,500 |
| Rs. 100,000 | Rs. 13,000 | Rs. 113,000 |
What Is VAT-Inclusive and VAT-Exclusive Price?
VAT-Exclusive Price
A VAT-exclusive price is the original price before VAT is added. For example, if a product costs Rs. 10,000 before tax, its VAT-exclusive price is Rs. 10,000.
VAT-Inclusive Price
A VAT-inclusive price already contains VAT. If the base price is Rs. 10,000 and VAT is Rs. 1,300, the VAT-inclusive total is Rs. 11,300.
Is Every Product and Service Subject to 13% VAT?
No. Although Nepal has a standard VAT rate of 13%, not every good or service is automatically subject to that rate.
The Value Added Tax Act includes specific categories of goods and services that are exempt from VAT. Certain transactions, including qualifying exports listed under the law, may be zero-rated.
Standard-Rated Supplies
Taxable goods and services generally subject to the standard 13% VAT rate.
Zero-Rated Supplies
Specified transactions taxed at a 0% rate under the applicable VAT provisions.
VAT-Exempt Supplies
Goods and services specifically listed as exempt under the VAT Act.
Do not automatically add 13% VAT to every transaction. Check the applicable legal classification and official tax rules before issuing an invoice.
What Is the Difference Between Output VAT and Input VAT?
Output VAT
Output VAT is the VAT collected by a VAT-registered business on its taxable sales of goods or services.
Input VAT
Input VAT is the eligible VAT paid by a business on purchases or imports used for its taxable business activities, subject to applicable legal conditions.
This is a simplified explanation. Actual VAT returns may involve adjustments, restrictions and other provisions under Nepal’s VAT law.
