Nepal: Tax services expanded to 56 local centers

The Ministry of Finance has expanded tax-related services at the local level to ease access for taxpayers, Finance Minister Rameshore Khanal announced. After the closure of 36 Inland Revenue Offices, services such as PAN registration are now being delivered through local government units. At present, 34 District Treasury and Controller Offices and 22 local units have begun providing these services. Residents in remote regions, including Chumnubri in Gorkha and Khumbu Pasang Lhamu in Solukhumbu, can now complete tax procedures locally, reducing both travel time and expenses.
