Making bills every day?
Typing each bill works for a few a week. A restaurant or cafe makes hundreds, and each one has to be numbered in sequence for the fiscal year and kept. TableSathi prints the PAN or VAT bill straight from the order, numbers it, keeps the sales register, and is enlisted with the IRD (number 8301671) with CBMS filing.
Questions
What is the difference between a PAN bill and a VAT bill in Nepal?
A PAN bill is issued by a business that has a Permanent Account Number but is not registered for VAT: it shows the seller’s PAN and the price, with no VAT added. A VAT bill — a tax invoice — is issued by a VAT-registered business: it is labelled “Tax Invoice”, shows the seller’s VAT number, separates the taxable amount from 13% VAT, and is what lets a VAT-registered buyer claim that VAT back. This tool makes either: tick “Registered for VAT” to switch to a tax invoice.
What should a VAT bill in Nepal show?
Schedule 5 of the VAT Rules 2053, as amended in 2081, lists it: the invoice number and date; the seller’s name, address and VAT registration number; the buyer’s name, address and registration number; the method of payment (cash, cheque, credit or other); each line’s serial number, description, quantity, unit price and amount; any discount; the taxable value, the VAT at 13% and the grand total; and the seller’s signature. Rule 17(2) adds that the words “कर बीजक” (tax invoice) appear on its face. This tool prints all of them, with the date in both AD and Bikram Sambat and the total in words.
Do I need an HS code column on my bill?
The 2081 amendment added an HS code column to the tax invoice format. According to an IRD FAQ from Shrawan 2081, the first four digits of the HS code are mandatory only for imported goods and optional for goods produced in Nepal — so a restaurant or cafe selling its own food and drinks does not need to fill it in. If you sell imported goods, add the code to the item description.
What does a PAN bill need to show?
Income Tax Rules 2059, rule 23(4), asks for the seller’s name, address and PAN and a serial number on the bill. A business that is not VAT-registered must not show or charge VAT. This tool prints those, plus the items, the date in AD and BS and the total in words.
When does a restaurant have to register for VAT?
Under rule 6(1) of the VAT Rules 2053, as amended in 2081, a business selling services, or goods and services together as a restaurant does, must register once its annual turnover passes Rs 30 lakh; for goods alone the threshold is Rs 50 lakh. You must apply within 30 days of crossing it, and you can register voluntarily before. Some older pages still quote Rs 20 lakh. Check your own case with your accountant.
Is a bill made with this tool valid?
It lays out a bill in the format the VAT Rules describe, and many small businesses issue bills like this, numbered by hand. It is not IRD-enlisted billing software, though: it does not keep a fiscal-year invoice sequence, an audit trail or a sales register, and businesses above the IRD turnover threshold must issue bills from enlisted software. Check with your accountant which applies to you.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The bill is built and printed entirely in your browser. Your own business name, address and PAN are remembered on this device so you do not retype them; the buyer’s details are not stored at all.
Can I make bills like this automatically for my restaurant or cafe?
Yes — that is what TableSathi does. It prints a PAN or VAT bill from every order with fiscal-year invoice numbering, BS dates and amount in words, keeps the sales register, and is enlisted with the IRD (number 8301671) with CBMS filing. Plans start at Rs 14,999 a year, with a 15-day free trial.
