Govt impose VAT on paragliding
POKHARA: Paragliding business is now under the purview of Value Added Tax (VAT). Although paragliding has been in operation from almost 15 years, the government had not categorically imposed VAT on it so far. Now on, local as well as foreign tourist will have to pay 13 percent VAT for the service, which will make the flight costlier. Entrepreneurs were at first rejecting government attempts to bring it under the purview of VAT stating that the service was equivalent to aviation industry which is not register under VAT. They had argued that as the licensing condition was similar for airlines and paragliding there should not be separate provision of VAT registration. At present there are 19 registered paragliding companies in Pokhara out of which 17 are in operation.
