Register Right. Stay Compliant. Business Registration Nepal obtains your tax clearance certificate in Nepal from the Inland Revenue Department, with chartered accountants bringing your filings and audit current before the application goes in.
A Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC), known locally as kar chukta and sometimes called a tax compliance certificate, is the IRD tax clearance certificate that confirms your tax returns are filed and your dues cleared, a tax clearance letter the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) issues as proof of tax compliance. Businesses need it for tenders and renewals, and individuals for visas and loans, so our chartered accountants bring your annual filings and statutory audit current, then obtain the certificate.
Our tax clearance service covers how to obtain tax clearance in Nepal from start to finish: we review your tax status, file any pending returns, clear tax dues and penalties, and prepare the application form and documents. We then submit the file to the IRD, follow up on its verification and deliver the certificate to you, so you fulfil every legal step without having to navigate the tax office alone.
A tax clearance certificate in Nepal is issued to the taxpayer who needs it, whether an individual, a company or a non-profit, and each type proves a different kind of tax compliance. The documents, the timeline and the purpose change with the type, so we match your case to the right certificate before we apply.
A personal tax clearance certificate (PTCC) proves an individual's income-tax compliance, and it suits people applying for a visa, foreign employment or a bank loan, or completing a high-value transaction. The key document is a salary certificate or other income proof, and a clean PTCC in Nepal is often issued the same day. We prepare the file for salaried individuals who need a salary income tax clearance in English for a visa or employer file.
A business tax clearance certificate (BTCC) certifies a company's corporate tax compliance for government tenders and bids, licence and registration renewals of the licenses a business needs to operate, share transfers, business closure and loans. The key documents are audited financial statements and filed tax returns, and most companies need a fresh certificate every fiscal year. We keep your company registration records, filings and audit aligned, so each annual application is ready.
An NGO or INGO tax clearance certificate lets a non-profit renew its registration and move donor funds, because donors and regulators check tax compliance before they release money. The key documents are audited financial statements and the organisation's PAN, and we prepare both with the application so NGOs and INGOs meet their donor-compliance requirement.
You need a tax clearance certificate in Nepal when you face one of these 8 situations:
Landlords earning rent income sometimes need rent tax clearance in Nepal, and employees often ask for a sample of the certificate a company issues for its worker. That employer document shows salary tax deducted, while the official certificate comes only from the IRD, so we work from the IRD's own format rather than a sample.
Personal tax clearance and business tax clearance differ on 4 points: who the certificate is for, the key documents, the common purpose and the typical timeframe.
Personal (PTCC)
Business (BTCC)

The government fee for a tax clearance certificate in Nepal is nominal and varies by entity and tax office, and those fees are small, so the real cost of obtaining tax clearance is getting your filings and audit current. Business Registration Nepal charges a professional fee for that work, set by how many years and filings need attention, and we quote it after a free consultation. Talk to a consultant about your fee.
A clean personal tax clearance case is often done the same day, and a business case with current filings takes a few days. Complex cases with pending returns or unpaid dues take a few weeks, so the time it takes to get a tax clearance certificate depends on how current your records are.

For a business or individual in Nepal, the TCC is the official IRD document that shows your obligations under the tax laws are met: all your returns are filed, your taxes are paid and no outstanding tax liabilities remain. That is what a tax clearance certificate looks like in substance: a signed statement of no tax dues for the taxpayer and fiscal year named on it.
Personal tax clearance certifies an individual's income-tax compliance, and business tax clearance certifies a company's corporate tax compliance for tenders and renewals. The personal tax clearance certificate relies on income proof, and the business one relies on audited accounts.
A personal certificate is often issued the same day, a business certificate takes a few days, and a complex or pending case takes a few weeks. Current filings keep your case at the short end.
You check tax clearance status in Nepal, or find a tax clearance by IRD reference, on the IRD taxpayer portal with your application reference number, or by asking the tax office handling your file. We track the status for you and tell you as soon as the IRD issues the certificate.
Yes, when your embassy or foreign employer asks for it: embassies commonly request a tax clearance certificate for a visa or for foreign employment, because it helps you demonstrate a legitimate, tax-compliant source of income. Tax clearance for foreign employment uses the personal certificate, and we prepare the file around your embassy's deadline.
Yes, a valid tax clearance certificate is usually mandatory to bid on government tenders and contracts in Nepal. Without it, a business cannot participate in most governmental bids, so we time the application before the tender deadline.
Yes, a tax clearance certificate confirms that no tax liabilities remain before a business closure or a share transfer. It lets the buyer or the registrar confirm the company is clear of dues.
Yes, a business must have its audit completed, its returns filed and its dues cleared before it applies, and the IRD checks the income tax return and the schedules filed with it before it issues the tax clearance. Our statutory audit service explains how the audit is completed each year.
The TCC format is set by the IRD, so a tax clearance certificate sample from Nepal or a tax clearance letter sample only shows the layout, not your status. We prepare your application and obtain the official certificate rather than a sample.
You renew a tax clearance certificate by keeping your filings current and reapplying before it expires, with updated audited statements and returns. Tax clearance validity follows the fiscal year, so most businesses reapply after the end of fiscal year filings each year.
Without a tax clearance certificate, a business is barred from tenders, refused a licence renewal or a loan, and face penalties for non-compliance. Keeping it current protects every one of those transactions.
