- Use the IRD Taxpayer Portal as the primary registration source.
- Personal and business requirements may differ.
- Check current official guidance for VAT obligations.
Why PAN matters
A Permanent Account Number is part of taxpayer identification in Nepal. Registration requirements can differ for individuals and businesses.
Where does the online process start?
The Inland Revenue Department’s official FAQ directs taxpayers to the Taxpayer Portal for PAN, VAT and Excise registration processes. IRD also publishes a Business PAN online-application workflow.
What should you prepare?
Required documents can differ by taxpayer or entity type. Check the latest official requirement rather than copying an old checklist.
What about VAT?
Do not assume that every person or business with PAN has the same VAT obligation. The applicable rules can depend on the type and scale of activity and current law, so verify the latest IRD guidance or seek qualified tax advice when needed.
Confirming the correct registration type and current documents before applying can reduce avoidable delays.
