The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Supplies has proposed mandatory tax compliance for e-commerce businesses while offering free registration and update services under the draft E-Commerce Guidelines, 2082.
The government has proposed that all firms engaged in e-commerce operations fully comply with existing tax laws. The draft ‘E-Commerce Guidelines, 2082’, released by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Supplies, clearly outlines provisions related to taxes, duties, and fees.
According to the draft, every firm involved in e-commerce must fulfill its tax obligations with the relevant authorities in accordance with prevailing laws. Firms found evading taxes or operating without completing legal requirements will not be permitted to conduct online business.
However, the draft also proposes that services related to firm registration, registration updates, and deregistration will be provided free of charge. While no fees or duties will apply for these services, the draft emphasizes that firms must have completed all other tax-related legal obligations before availing of these services.
Before finalizing the guidelines, the ministry has begun collecting feedback and suggestions from stakeholders. Stakeholders and the public are requested to submit their inputs within seven days via email to [email protected].
