Vehicle Tax in Nepal (Bike, Car, Bus, Jeep, Van, Truck)

Are you looking for buying vehicles such as cars, bikes, scooters, or trucks? Then you must read this post to know the vehicle tax policy of Nepal. It is well known there are no manufacturers of vehicles in Nepal. So, it is imported from neighboring countries, therefore the car price is extremely high.

The import tax for cars, motorcycles, trucks, and scooters is subject to 288% which obviously seems utmost to westerners. So, the high price results in high tax payments for vehicles despite it cannot be denied that it is one of the main sources of government revenue.

Tax payment is the responsibility and sole duty of all citizens. For riding vehicles on the road the citizens need to pay vehicle tax to the government. The amount of tax varies between vehicles depending upon their ownership, and size.

According to Nepal Budget 2079-80, Nepal Government has updated some changes to the vehicle tax as per the budget speech. The amendment is chiefly for High CC Bikes, Cars, and Jeeps.

Why is vehicle tax high in Nepal?

Nepal is a landlocked country, as well as it is one of the developing countries where each and every infrastructure are not soo well managed. As there is no proper scientific technology used in order to develop /introduced something new. In the case of a vehicle tax high, the country had to order the vehicles from other countries as vehicles are not developed in Nepal. Some of the reason is as follows;

• We import maximum products from abroad as if the government decreases tax rate then people start using more vehicles so that there is needed to import more products. If there are more vehicles on the road, it means we would need more petroleum products to run those vehicles.
• Due to improper infrastructure and small streets, if there are more vehicles in Nepal, where a large number of vehicles enter at the same time then it causes huge traffic on the roads.
•  In Nepal, Auto-industry is not capable to contribute a large amount of taxes or different sorts of contributions. While foreign currency deposits will not create any rational economic benefit for the country so the nation will have to give up a majority to it.
