We are the leading tax law practitioners in Nepal, covering both specialist tax structuring advice and tax litigation. We are well-versed in all forms of applicable Nepalese taxes including corporate tax, capital gains tax, excise and custom duties, income tax, and withholding tax. We have successfully represented industry-leading national and international clients in the tax tribunal and the Supreme Court in the most challenging and precedent-setting tax issues in Nepal. Our experience makes us capable of navigating complex procedural rules, including the successful navigation of the permission stage for a Supreme Court appeal (which is sparingly granted).
