Have you thought about your Financial Strategy? Every Nepali must read this

In celebration of CFP Board's 25 years, CFP Board's Consumer Advocate, Eleanor Blayney, CFP® rolled out a series of 25 relevant and timely tips and strategies for the five key milestone phases in a person's life. Presented in a multimedia format, tips were released each month from August to December 2010.

Stage 1 – The Starting Out Years
Age range: 18-25 These are critical years, where your choices about education, employment, and debt management can have a major impact on your financial situation for decades to come.

Stage 2 - The Nesting Years
Age range: 25-40 During this phase, you face important decisions about marriage, children, buying a home, and building a career. Understanding the financial implications of these decisions is critical to lifetime success.

Stage 3 – The Prime Time Years
Age range: 40–55 This is usually the time you find yourself with more discretionary income. But there may be a lot of demands on that income. Advice is needed about college tuitions, helping elderly parents, catching up on retirement savings.

Stage 4 – The Wealth Accumulation Years
Age range: 55-65 Retirement is coming into view: will it be a time of reinvention or a period of just getting by? Choices about lifestyle, spending, investing can make all the difference.

Stage 5 – The Reinvention Years
Age range: 65 and over These can be the best years of life: new interests, part-time work or volunteer activity, travel, more time with family and friends. It all depends on good management of your financial resources.

"Financial planning isn't just for the wealthy. It's for everyone," Blayney says. "In a world where people are more responsible than ever for their financial lives, it's important that people understand the key things they need to do in each phase of their life."

VAT Directive 2069, Second Amendment 2076

Inland Revenue Department has published the updated VAT directive with the amendment as of 2076. This is a second amendment to the directive that was originally published in 2069 B.S. The main purpose of the directive is to bring consistency in the understanding of the taxpayers, tax administrators including different stakeholders. It is also believed that the directive will help the implementation of VAT even simpler. It is also part of the education/awareness program conducted by the department. As a general public, we also hope that this document will act as a bridge minimizing the confusion taxpayers have over the VAT Act and Regulation. Although, introduction of the Act itself has crossed two decades mark but still need was felt for more clarity especially some of the recent changes. So, we heartily welcome this document. You can find the  VAT Directive 2069, Second Amendment 2076  here.
