Tax template: Nepal Health Equity Fee

The Nepal Health Equity Fee template adds the 3% health equity fee (स्वास्थ्य समता शुल्क) that Finance Act 2083 places on tobacco, alcohol and similar health risk products. It is a single row at 3% on the net total, posting in the demo to 2261 - VAT Payable - YFF alongside VAT. The fee is reported to the IRD on its own line, so keep it on its own row even though the account is shared. A liquor retailer builds one template with both the 13% VAT row and the 3% fee row. Omitting the fee leaves a liability the IRD assesses later with interest.

Health equity fee = Net total x 3 / 100; Rs 1,00,000 x 3 / 100 = Rs 3,000

1. 01Go to Taxes > Sales Taxes and Charges Template and open Nepal Health Equity Fee - YFF.
2. 02Confirm the row: 3% On Net Total to 2261 - VAT Payable - YFF.
3. 03Build a combined template with the 13% VAT row and this 3% row for liquor or tobacco sales.
4. 04Go to Invoicing > Sales Invoice > New, enter the products and pick the combined template.
5. 05Submit. The fee credits the liability account and shows as a separate line on the print.

Pick it on sales of products the Finance Act lists as health risk items.

A Rs 1,00,000 liquor sale adds a 3% fee of Rs 3,000.
