Nepal Income Tax (TDS) on Salary: What
Salaried employees pay in FY 2083/84
Nepal Income Tax (TDS) on Salary determines how much of your monthly salary goes into
your bank account. This deduction is made from the salary of all salaried employees in
Nepal, but few people bother to find out how it is calculated. The government has
overhauled the fiscal 2083/84 slabs, and it is pretty huge. The bottom tax slab has been
increased to Rs 10 lakh and the top rate reduced to 29 per cent. This translates into a
smaller percentage deducted from their paychecks each month, and a healthier paycheck for
most workers.
The employers are still responsible to withhold tax correctly and pay it to the Inland Revenue
Department. The employees, however, should be knowledgeable enough to check all their
payslips. If one of the assumptions is wrong by a small margin, then you might be deducted
too much or you may be left with an unexpected tax bill later. This article gives a description
of the existing slabs, taxable portion of your salary and the monthly calculation method. It
also illustrates how the complete process can be automated by payroll software like Hajir
HR. If you are an employee, HR Officer or business owner, the information below will help
you.
How TDS on Salary In Nepal works
TDS is the acronym for Tax Deducted at Source. Your employer calculates your taxable
income for the year at the beginning of the year. The tax for that amount is then apportioned
among the twelve months. That amount will be deducted from your paycheck and sent to the
tax office each month. If your pay is altered in the middle of the year due to a raise or bonus,
the remaining months are recalculated. This will keep the final annual deduction near your
true tax liability.

Now, there is a single schedule adopted for resident individuals. The distinction between the
single taxpayer and married taxpayer is no longer applicable. The following table provides
the summary of the current rates of income tax in Nepal.

If the employee contributes to the Social Security Fund, he or she might not be taxed on the
first slab. Please check your eligibility with your employer or tax advisor as the rules are
subject to change as a result of Official circulars.
What Counts as Taxable Salary
Gross pay is not subject to tax. Taxable income comprises basic salary, allowances,
bonuses and most other benefits received from the employer. This is then less the approved
deductions. Such contributions typically are those to SSF, Citizen Investment Trust or
provident funds, and to premiums of eligible insurance. Such deductions will be made only
within the limits of the law. Finally, you get your annual income that is taxable, on which the
slabs are applied.
Worked examples on calculating salary taxes in Nepal
Let's take an example of an employee whose taxable income is Rs 12,00,000 per year. The
first Rs 10,00,000 attracts Rs 10,000 at 1 percent. The remaining Rs 2,00,000 attracts Rs
20,000 at 10 percent. The annual tax is Rs 30,000 and hence monthly TDS is approximately
Rs 2,500.
Now, if he has an annual salary of Rs. 20,00,000, which is taxable. The first slab provides Rs
10,000 and the second slab provides Rs 50,000. The final Rs 5,00,000 is taxed at 20
percent, which adds Rs 1,00,000. Total tax is Rs 1,60,000, or roughly Rs 13,333 each
month.
If any employee has an income of Rs 6,00,000/year, then he remains in the first slab. The
person pays Rs 6,000 per year or Rs 500 per month, without any exemptions.
How TDS Is Calculated in Hajir HR
A few members of staff can use manual calculation. When bonuses, leave deductions and
allowances vary from month to month it can become tedious. This is where Hajir HR payroll
comes in handy for organizations in Nepal.
Hajir real-time payroll calculation of attendance, overtime, bonuses, loans, advances,
insurance and taxes including SSF, CIT and TDS. Salaries are calculated either by the day
worked or by the day of the week, as specified in the company's policy. When the monthly

salary is made available, the salary TDS is automatically calculated. Specific settings will
vary depending on how your business sets up its compensation system.
Admins also receive reports that are easier on the eyes. The TDS projection report displays
the distribution of the annual tax liability in the months. The tax calculation detail provides
details on how each employee's figure is calculated. Payroll report missing indicates who
was not included in a run. Another time-saving advantage for Hajir is the support for bank,
SSF, CIT and TDS letters.
Consequently, HR teams waste less time on spreadsheets and are less prone to mistakes.
Always verify that slabs for any tool are in line with the most recent Finance Act.
Employer Responsibilities for Deposit of TDS.
Withheld tax must be paid to the Inland Revenue Department in accordance with the time
limits. The general rule is that the deadline is the 25th of the next Nepali month. They should
also provide tax records to the employees and have payroll records to review for audit.
Payments that are late can incur interest and penalties, so it is best to set up a monthly
schedule.
Common mistakes in Salary TDS
The most common error is to consider gross pay as taxable income. The other one is not
accepting bonuses until the end of the year, resulting in a massive cut in the last few months
of the year. Old slabs are continued to be used by some teams after the start of a new fiscal
year. Others do not update deductions when an employee joins SSF and/or when they
purchase insurance. By checking payroll settings every Shrawan, most of these problems
can be avoided.
