For reservoir and semi-reservoir hydropower projects with a capacity of more than 200 megawatts, approved by the
Investment Board, if financial management (financial closure) is completed by Chaitra of the year 2082, and for other
projects operated by the Nepal Electricity Authority, an exemption from value-added tax (VAT) will be granted. This
exemption applies to construction equipment, plant machinery, tools, related parts, explosives, penstock pipes, and
steel plates imported by the project or its contractors.

in the detailed engineering design report of the hydropower project.

Substituted the following clause for Clause No. (14)
Diplomatic missions, projects, individuals, and other entities (both governmental and non-governmental
organizations) can import vehicles into customs facilities without incurring value-added tax (VAT) under specific
conditions. If a vehicle is in its first production year but is older than 10 years, or if an old vehicle used by diplomatic
missions and diplomatic staff has been rendered inoperable due to accidents or technical reasons and has not been
used for 10 years, it can be scrapped and its registration canceled. This process requires approval from the Ministry
of Finance, ensuring the vehicle cannot be used again, and no VAT will be charged on such a vehicle.
