Description

The Inland Revenue Department is responsible for the administration of Value Added Tax, Income Tax, and Excise Duty. In the performance of these duties it maintains a register of Permanent Account Numbers (PANs) the unique taxpayer identification number for Nepal.

This register covers individuals as well as legal entities. Org-id does not recommend using the PAN of an individual person as a unique identifier.

The PAN is described as follows [1]:

- A unique identification number, which is issued to all the taxpayers and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) withholding agents throughout the kingdom.
- It identifies each taxpayer or TDS withholding agent uniquely countrywide.
- It is necessary to process taxpayers or TDS withholding agents using computer systems.
- It is allotted only once in the lifetime of a taxpayer or TDS withholding agent. It never changes.
