Pokhrel also noted that the largest portion of revenue comes from internal fees, accounting for 82.6 percent of the total collection. “Value-added tax and income tax collections have also been strong, but the bulk still comes from internal fees,” he added.
In fiscal year 2081/82, the office had collected NPR 356,026,100 during the same four-month period. Pokhrel attributed this year’s excellent performance to effective teamwork between industrialists, business operators, and tax administration staff.
