VAT 13%

Thirteen percent is Nepal's standard VAT rate and applies to every taxable supply that is not covered by the reduced rate, zero rating or exemption: goods, services, trekking packages, hotel rooms, consultancy, software. In BRAccount it is the template VAT 13% - YFF, which adds one tax row at 13 percent of the net total pointing at 2261 - VAT Payable - YFF on sales, or 1241 - VAT Receivable - YFF on purchases. The template is the company default, so an ordinary invoice needs no choice at all. Overriding the rate by hand breaks the Sales Book; change the template or tax category instead when a different rate applies.

VAT = Net total x 13%; Grand total = Net total x 1.13.

1. 01Go to Taxes > Sales and Purchase Taxes and Charges Template and open VAT 13% - YFF.
2. 02Confirm one row: type On Net Total, rate 13, account 2261 - VAT Payable - YFF, and Is Default ticked.
3. 03Go to Invoicing > Sales Invoice > New; the template fills automatically.
4. 04Enter Rs 32,000 of items; the Taxes table shows VAT Rs 4,160 and the grand total Rs 36,160.
5. 05Submit. The entry above posts and the invoice prints as a tax invoice with the VAT shown.
