Configuration
Tax, payment terms and payment methods
Review the default tax entries, use the standard net payment terms or add your own, and work with the ten Nepali payment methods that ship enabled.
Updated 12 September 2026
Tax and terms configuration holds three lists that apply across the whole system: the tax options available on documents, the payment terms that set due dates, and the payment methods you can record money against.
Open it
Go to Configuration and select Tax and Terms Configuration.
Tax
Kuver Books comes with two tax configurations, both active by default: No Tax at zero, and VAT at the standard rate. You cannot remove them, because documents need them to follow the tax rules you bill under.
Tax settings apply to invoices and financial documents. Change them only when a law or regulation changes. You choose the tax for each product on the product record, not on each invoice.
Payment terms
A payment term sets how many days after a sale or purchase the payment is due. Kuver Books uses it to set the due date on invoices and bills. Your payable and receivable reports use the due date to show ageing (how long each amount has been unpaid).
The standard net terms are already loaded and active, from on receipt up to the usual net day counts. A net term is the number of days the buyer has to pay. You cannot edit or disable the defaults. Use the options menu to view disabled terms where there are any.
To add your own:
- Open Add New Payment Term.
- Enter the Payment Term Name, required.
- Enter the Number of Days, required.
- Click Add Payment Term, or Cancel to close without saving.
Create a custom term only for a real agreement that the defaults do not cover. Do not create one for each customer.
Payment methods
Kuver Books comes with the payment methods used in Nepal, all active by default: cash, Khalti, eSewa, bank transfer, ConnectIPS, Fonepay, IME Pay, PrabhuPay, debit and credit card, and mobile banking. You cannot edit or disable these defaults.
These methods are for recording only. If you choose eSewa on a payment, Kuver Books records that the money came through eSewa. It does not collect the money for you.
To add your own:
- Open Add New Payment Method.
- Enter the Payment Method Name, required.
- Add a Description.
- Click Add Payment Method, or Cancel.
How it behaves
Tax, terms and methods apply to the whole system and are used in sales, purchase and finance. Changes show in documents at once. Your own entries are added next to the defaults and do not replace them.
