Prepared with the free Kuver Books invoice format. Figures are computed from the rate shown and are not tax advice.

Filling it in: a VAT-registered business shows its VAT number, and a PAN-only business shows its PAN and charges no VAT. Number invoices in your own series, in unbroken order. A registered customer needs their PAN on the invoice to claim the VAT. A second copy of an invoice already issued must say so on its face: tick "This is a reprint" and it prints "Copy of Original" under the title.

Rate source: VAT Act 2052 as amended; standard rate as published by the Inland Revenue Department. Checked 2026-09-12. A VAT-registered business must issue invoices from software listed under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074, in an unbroken series, and keep copies. This page produces the format, not the record. Confirm what your business must carry with the IRD or your accountant.

Updated 12 September 2026. Figures are an estimate from the rates shown, not tax advice; confirm with the IRD or your accountant.

What this produces

It makes a tax invoice in the layout a Nepali one must follow, and does the arithmetic as you type. You type straight onto the document. Change a line and the totals change with it. Printing uses your browser’s own print dialogue, so you can send it to a printer or save it as a PDF without installing anything.

Nothing is uploaded. The figures stay in your browser.

The fields, and why each one is there

  • Your name, and your PAN or VAT number. A registered business shows its VAT number and charges 13% VAT. A business with only a PAN shows the PAN and charges no VAT at all.
  • The buyer’s name and PAN. The PAN is optional for a retail customer, and necessary for a registered buyer who wants to claim the VAT back.
  • An invoice number. Your own series, in unbroken order. Gaps in a series are the first thing an inspection looks for.
  • Both dates. Bikram Sambat for your books and the return, English alongside it. You type both.
  • Lines with a quantity and a rate. Each line can be taxable or exempt, so a bill mixing the two puts VAT on the taxable value only.

The total is also written in words. If anyone disputes where a decimal point goes, the words settle it.

When this is not enough

This page gives you a format. It does not keep a record or number your bills. If you are registered for VAT, the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074 expects your bills to come from listed software that keeps them. A printable page does not do that. Use this page while you are getting set up, for an occasional bill, or to see what the format should contain. The guide to invoice requirements explains what a compliant bill has to carry and why.

The tool also knows nothing about your stock, your customer’s credit or your VAT return. It adds up one document.

Doing it properly

Kuver Books issues the bill and keeps the invoice series in order. It applies the rate to each line, moves the stock in the same transaction, and carries the figures into your VAT records. The invoice format template gives you the same document as a file if you would rather work offline.

VAT bill generator: questions

Can I use this as my billing system?
No. A VAT-registered business must issue invoices from software listed under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074. The invoices must follow an unbroken numbered series, and the business must keep copies it can show when asked. This page fills in a format and prints it. It keeps no record and numbers nothing.
What has to appear on a Nepali tax invoice?
The words tax invoice, your name and PAN or VAT number, the buyer's name and their PAN where they have one, the invoice number, the date, a description of what was supplied, the taxable value, the VAT shown separately and the total. The requirements guide lists them in full.
Why type the date twice?
So that you control both. When one date is converted into the other automatically, a bill can end up with a wrong Bikram Sambat date that nobody notices until the return. Use the date converter, check the result, and type the date you mean.
What does the reprint note do?
Ticking it prints a line saying the document is a copy of the original. A second printing of an invoice already issued has to say so on its face, so that two pieces of paper for one supply cannot be mistaken for two supplies. Leave it off for the first print.
