Questions
Is VAT added on top or included in the price on a Nepali quotation?
Added on top. Nepali VAT is 13% and is shown as added on top of the price — the subtotal is ex-VAT, and VAT is calculated and added to reach the total.
Does a Nepali quotation use Bikram Sambat dates?
Yes. Dates are entered and displayed in the Bikram Sambat calendar, formatted YYYY/MM/DD — not Gregorian.
How are numbers grouped on a Nepali quotation?
Lakh/crore grouping (e.g. 10,74,834.13), not western thousands grouping — matching how amounts are conventionally written in Nepal.
What's the difference between a Quotation and an Estimate?
Both use the same line items and calculation. A Quotation shows the VAT breakdown; an Estimate presents the same total without it. Neither is a tax invoice — Quote Engine does not produce those.
Can I add my PAN automatically?
Yes. PAN is the seller identifier for Nepali quotations and appears in the header of every document once set in your business profile.
