Annual company filings, income-tax returns and tax clearance are related to a business’s records, but they are separate tasks. Knowing the difference makes it easier to request the right service.

Annual company filing concerns the company register

Annual company details are submitted to the Office of Company Registrar through the applicable process. The information and supporting documents depend on the company’s circumstances. Confirm the current filing requirements for your own company.

This work is often called barsik bibaran or adhyawati. Hisab Kitab helps prepare the information and coordinate the annual filing. The service fee is NPR 10,000; VAT treatment and any additional work are itemized in your quote.

An income-tax return reports the tax position

An income-tax return is a separate filing with the tax authority. It uses the relevant financial information and tax adjustments for the period. Which return applies depends on the taxpayer and the applicable rules.

A financial report or an OCR filing should not be assumed to mean that the income-tax return is complete. Ask which tasks are covered in the engagement and what confirmations will be provided.

Tax clearance is a separate request

Tax clearance concerns the taxpayer’s status for the relevant period and applicable requirements. Before requesting it, review the relevant filings, payments and any matters the responsible office needs to address.

Hisab Kitab offers tax-clearance coordination for an additional NPR 5,000. Confirm the period, scope, VAT treatment and any statutory payments in the quote.

Prepare the reports and coordinate the audit

We prepare financial statements, supporting schedules and information for your appointed independent auditor. The auditor conducts the audit and issues the opinion. Company report preparation and audit coordination starts at NPR 5,000 plus VAT.
