Tax & Nepal IRD Workpapers
VAT, TDS and statutory registers, driven by a reviewed fiscal-year contract
What Tax & Compliance is for
KhataPal organizes tax registrations, registers, reconciliations, workpapers, returns and supporting evidence. It does not replace professional advice or claim a filing occurred unless it was actually submitted.
Set up Tax first
Complete the Tax Profile and confirm the fiscal year, PAN, registrations, filing cadence and IRD office before relying on tax outputs.

Follow the workflow in order and keep KhataPal status aligned with the real filing process.

What happens after each tax step
Tax outputs follow the status of source transactions, reconciliation and the real filing process. KhataPal distinguishes preparation from submission.
- After transactions are posted
- Applicable records appear in the Tax Register using the configured profile and reviewed fiscal-year tax contract.
- After reconciliation
- Differences between the register and general ledger are identified for correction before return preparation.
- After preparing a return
- Workpapers and values are ready for review and the applicable IRD process; preparation does not itself mean filing occurred.
- After filing outside KhataPal
- Record the actual submission reference, acknowledgement, payment evidence or certificate so status matches what happened with IRD.
Keep the filing evidence
Store acknowledgements, payment receipts, correspondence and certificates with the correct period. KhataPal’s clearance workspace can assess readiness and organize evidence, but IRD alone issues an actual tax clearance certificate.
- Acknowledgements
Keep official submission receipts, tokens and verification evidence.
Open ↗ - Payment evidence
Retain bank vouchers and IRD deposit evidence against the correct obligation.
- Filed-period changes
Review alerts when underlying books change after a period was prepared or filed.
- Clearance
Prepare and track the evidence pack; record the certificate only after IRD issues it.

Common tax mistakes
Check these points before preparing or marking a tax obligation complete.
- Complete the Tax Profile first
Registrations and filing settings determine which obligations and workspaces apply.
- Do not assume one treatment fits every transaction
Classification depends on the transaction, registration and applicable reviewed rules.
- Reconcile before preparing
A final total is not reliable when source transactions or ledger mappings differ.
- Preparation is not filing
Do not mark an obligation submitted until the applicable IRD process actually occurred.
- Do not ignore changes to filed periods
Later changes to underlying books may require review, amendment or additional evidence.
- Keep supporting records
Invoices, bills, acknowledgements, payments and correspondence support the reported position.
