Updated Process to obtain Tax clearance certificate FY 2079/80: Online is no longer possible in Nepal.

Introduction:

Ensuring you have a valid tax clearance certificate is crucial for both individuals and entities. Previously, obtaining it online was convenient, but now a visit to the tax office is required. In this article, we'll guide you through the process, focusing on individuals with salary income.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Obtain a Certified Salary Certificate: Your employer should provide a certificate detailing your annual salary, along with deductions like CIT, PF, Social Security Fund, and Insurance. Ensure the income and ETDS match the certification letter.
  2. Visit the Correct Tax Office: If your employer's location differs from your PAN registration, visit the tax office where your employer is registered.
  3. Complete the Application Form: Pick up the Tax Clearance certificate application form from the tax office's reception. It must be signed by the concerned person. If they're unavailable, provide an authorization letter matching the authorized person's identification document.
  4. Submit the Application: Hand in the completed form to the tax officer. It will be registered, and you'll be guided to the next officer for verification and certificate printing.

 Possible Outcomes:

  1. Income Discrepancy: If there's a mismatch, return to your employer to confirm and resubmit the application.
  2. Tax Deposit Verification: If the deposit isn't visible on the IRD web portal, request your employer to submit the ETDS verification details promptly.
  3. Insufficient Tax Deposit: If the deposit falls short, you'll need to make the necessary deposit and provide the deposit slip before receiving the clearance certificate.

For Individuals with Multiple Employers:

If you've had multiple employers in the fiscal year, obtain certificates from all and combine the incomes when submitting the application. Visit the tax office of your latest employer for application submission.

For Individuals with Income above 40 Lakhs:

The process remains the same, but individuals in this income bracket must also complete the D-04 return. Instead of visiting the employer's tax office, they must first visit the tax office where their PAN is registered, get D-04 verified, and then complete the application process at the employer's tax office.

In Conclusion:

Navigating the tax clearance certificate process may seem intricate, but with these detailed steps, you'll be well-prepared to obtain your certificate efficiently.  If you have any queries, please feel free to reach out to us at our Facebook, Instagram and TikTok Page @Learnwithnirmalaryal
