The listing

Kuver Books is on the IRD's official list.

The Inland Revenue Department keeps the official list of billing software enlisted under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074, and Kuver Books is on it.

The IRD does not issue a certificate for this. The listing itself is the verification, and anyone can check it.

Check the IRD list of enlisted software on ird.gov.np

Before your first invoice

The software is listed. Your business applies too.

Under the procedure, each business that bills from listed software applies to the IRD for its own approval. It is part of getting started with Kuver Books.

  1. 1 Set up Kuver Books Your workspace carries your business name and your PAN or VAT number on every invoice.
  2. 2 Apply to the IRD for your business Listed software is only half of it: your business applies to the IRD in its own name to bill from it.
  3. 3 Start billing Once the IRD approves your business, issue your invoices from Kuver Books.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kuver Books IRD approved?
Yes. Kuver Books is IRD approved: it is on the Inland Revenue Department's list of billing software enlisted under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074. "IRD approved" is the everyday name for being on that list. The IRD does not issue a certificate, so check the entry yourself on ird.gov.np.
Does the IRD issue a certificate for listed software?
No. The IRD keeps an official list of billing software enlisted under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074, and being on that list is the verification. Kuver Books is on it; check the entry yourself on ird.gov.np. Be wary of any vendor that shows you an "IRD certificate".
What does my business need to do before billing?
The software being listed does not approve your business. Each business that bills from listed software applies to the IRD in its own name. Once your business is approved, you issue invoices from Kuver Books. Your accountant or your tax office can confirm what to submit.
What does IRD listing actually guarantee?
That the software was examined by the Inland Revenue Department against the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074 and found to meet its rules for invoice structure, tax calculation, data integrity and reporting to the CBMS. It does not replace your own VAT registration or filing obligations.
Do I have to use listed software?
Businesses covered by the procedure must issue electronic invoices from software that meets it. Whether the procedure covers your business depends on your registration and turnover; ask your accountant or the IRD.
Where is my data stored?
Customer data is hosted in Nepal by Data Hub Nepal. The IRD procedure requires cloud billing data to stay on servers in Nepal, and that is the requirement the product is built to. See the Security page.
Can the IRD see my invoices?
Invoice data is submitted to the CBMS as the procedure requires, and the IRD may request access to the server. Kuver Books keeps a full audit trail so what they see matches what you printed.
