WhatsApp-first · Nepal VAT & TDS

Your smart accountant, inside WhatsApp

Snap a bill. It reads the vendor, the taxable amount, and the 13% VAT in paisa, then shows its work and waits for your before saving. When something is unclear, it asks instead of assuming.

How it works

A careful loop, every single time

Built around one principle: it shows its work, flags what it is unsure of, and never saves without your confirmation.

📸01

You send a bill

A photo, PDF, or a quick line of text on WhatsApp. Voice notes coming soon.

🧠02

It reads the bill

It extracts the vendor, taxable amount, and VAT, computing 13% in whole paisa using integer math, never a float.

🔎03

It shows its work

Every field is echoed back for you to check. Anything unclear is flagged so you can correct it.

04

You approve, it saves

Only on your ✅ does a draft become a confirmed entry. Nothing is ever filed for you.

Asks when unsure

Low confidence on a field means it asks for a clearer photo or the missing detail.

Never auto-files

It prepares the numbers. You file on the IRD portal yourself.

Never takes secrets

Passwords, OTPs, and logins are refused. WhatsApp is not for secrets.

Who it’s for

If you keep a VAT bill, this is for you

Built for small Nepali businesses that are too busy serving customers to babysit a ledger, and too careful to trust a black box. Find yourself below.

Café & restaurant owners

“Bills pile up in a drawer. By the 25th I’m panicking about VAT.”

Snap each bill as it comes. By month end your return is already prepared, ready for you to review and file.

Month-end return ready, no late nights

🛠️

Retail & hardware shops

“I don’t know which bills I can actually claim VAT on.”

It flags abbreviated (17Ka) and expired bills, and explains why, so you can avoid over claiming.

Wrong input credits → caught, not filed

📦

Suppliers & wholesalers

“TDS and credit terms are a mess across dozens of parties.”

TDS on the VAT exclusive base, with AR and AP aging by party, so you always know who owes you and what you owe.

Every debtor, bucketed by age

💻

Solo founders & freelancers

“I can’t afford a full-time accountant yet.”

A careful bookkeeping assistant on WhatsApp for the price of a coffee, one that shows its work and asks when unsure.

No app, no portal, no hire

🏪

Family businesses

“Whoever’s at the counter records sales differently.”

One agent, one source of truth. Everyone just texts a photo; nothing saves without the owner’s ✅.

One ledger, owner-approved

📚

Accountants (their clients)

“Chasing clients for shoebox receipts all month.”

Clients capture as they go, so you get clean, reconciled, audit logged books to review instead of a shoebox.

Month-end review, not data entry

Joining the pilot is free, and you approve every entry, so there is nothing to lose and a month of evenings to gain. Start on WhatsApp →

What the agent does

One agent. Your whole back office.

Replies in your language

It answers in Romanized Nepali, Devanagari, or English, matching how you wrote to it.

🔎

Asks when unsure

If a photo is blurry it asks for a clearer one instead of recording a number it is not sure about.

💳

Khalti, once verified

A Khalti payment is recorded only after a server side check confirms it, so there is no double entry.

🧮

Integer paisa math

VAT is computed in whole paisa with integer math, so the figures reconcile cleanly to the rupee.
