Nepal Vehicle Tax Calculator

About the Nepal vehicle tax calculator

This calculator estimates the annual vehicle tax (सवारी साधन कर) you pay when you renew your bluebook in Nepal. It uses the Bagmati Province schedule for FY 2082/83 — the province with the highest rates in the country — and works the tax out from your vehicle type and engine capacity (in cc) or, for an electric car, its motor power in kilowatts.

How vehicle tax is set in Nepal

Vehicle tax is a provincial tax. Each of the seven provinces passes its own annual Economic Act with its own rate schedule, and the rates change from year to year, so the same 150 cc motorcycle is taxed differently depending on where it is registered. This calculator applies the Bagmati Province schedule; if your vehicle is registered elsewhere, check your province's transport office for the current figures.

How the slabs work

For petrol and diesel vehicles the tax is based purely on engine capacity, in bands: the bigger the engine, the higher the tax. Motorcycles and cars use separate schedules. Electric cars are treated favourably and are banded by motor power in kW rather than engine size. Your whole vehicle falls into exactly one band.

What else you pay at renewal

The annual tax is the main charge, but a bluebook renewal also carries a small renewal fee (about Rs 300 for a two-wheeler and Rs 500 for a four-wheeler) and requires valid third-party insurance, which is charged separately. Renewing after the deadline adds a government fine. This calculator shows the tax and the approximate renewal fee; it does not include insurance, fines or pollution charges.
