How to submit Expenses and request Reimbursements in Nepal?

To ensure compliance with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) in Nepal and alignment with monthly financial and VAT reporting requirements, please follow the process and guidelines below.

Submission timelines

All reimbursement requests must follow a two-step submission process:

1. Digital submission (mandatory)
Scanned copies of invoices must be uploaded and submitted along with payroll inputs on the Remote People platform by the payroll submission deadline.

2. Physical submission (mandatory)
Original hard copy invoices must be submitted by the end of the same month.

These timelines are required to allow for proper verification, completeness checks, and alignment with monthly financial closing and VAT filing obligations.

Compliance requirements

To ensure reimbursements are processed as non-taxable:

  • Invoices must be complete, valid, and issued in the correct company name

  • Submissions must be made within the required timelines

  • Supporting documentation must be accurate and consistent

Please note:

  • Any delay in submission, incomplete documentation, or incorrect billing details may result in the reimbursement being treated as taxable income, in line with IRD guidelines.

  • Failure to submit physical invoices by the end of the month will result in the reimbursement being treated as taxable in the subsequent payroll and taxed according to applicable slab rates.

Billing details

All invoices must reflect the following:

  • Company Name: Niural International Private Limited

  • PAN: 621194340

  • Address: Sanepa-02, Lalitpur

Invoices not meeting these requirements may be rejected or treated as taxable.

Expense eligibility guidelines

Allowed expenses
Only expenses directly related to business activities and reasonable based on the employee’s role are eligible.
Example: Business travel expenses for a Business Development Manager.

Disallowed expenses

  • Personal expenses not related to business activities

  • Alcohol and tobacco (any invoice including these items will not be accepted)

  • Expenses not billed to the correct company entity

  • Expenses without original VAT invoices

Taxable expenses

The following are always treated as taxable, even if documentation is provided:

  • Personal commuting allowances (home to office)

  • Tuition or education reimbursements

  • Phone expenses not strictly work-related

  • Additional personal benefits or allowances

  • Loans or advances provided to employees

Special note: Airwallex wallet

For expenses paid using the Airwallex wallet (company-issued card):

  • Expenses are paid directly by the employer (Cloud Label Pvt. Ltd. / Niural)

  • No reimbursement process is required

  • These transactions are not included in payroll or treated as taxable income

Key takeaway

Timely submission of both digital and physical invoices, along with correct billing details, is essential to ensure reimbursements remain compliant and non-taxable.
