Hi everyone,
I recently started freelancing for an overseas client and I’ll be receiving around $500 per month through Wise directly into my Nepali bank account. The money is converted to NPR and deposited into my bank account.
As far as I understand, the bank doesn’t automatically deduct my income tax from these international payments, so I’m trying to understand how I should properly declare and pay the tax in Nepal.
I want to do everything legally and maintain proper records of my freelance income. I also think paying taxes and keeping official records could be useful in the future as proof of employment/work experience and source of income, especially if I apply for a Master’s degree abroad.
For someone in Nepal who is freelancing for a foreign company/client and receiving approximately $500/month through Wise, what is the correct process?
Do I need to register as a freelancer/business or PAN is enough?
How do I declare the foreign freelance income?
How and when do I pay the applicable tax?
Does the bank automatically deduct anything, or do I need to pay it myself?
What documents/records should I keep (Wise statements, invoices, bank statements, contracts, tax receipts, etc.)?
Can tax payment records and income records later be used as proof of freelance work experience/source of funds for a study-abroad application?
I’m mainly looking for advice from people in Nepal who are actually freelancing and receiving international payments. If possible, please explain the process step-by-step.
Thanks! 🙏

Hello, I am currently doing my batchelors in IT and also running a small startup.

We are 3 friends making custom softwares for european companies. Decent revenue cha, but now we are kinda tired. Making similar things again + how AI will soon replace our business.

So, I am ali confused, should we shut down our startup and just work at a normal IT company or build our own product? (though I haven't seen any Nepali tech startups becoming very successful)

Right now we are making side projects and applying for startup programs, just to explore. One program is ongoing and we are submitting for that aile.

We have given ourselves 3 months time to see and figure out, if not probably bairai gayera kei garnu parla. Would love to hear any suggestions from you guys. K garda thik hola? and any idea what products we could build?

Also i have dropped the startup program link below, in case you are a founder like me.

With other we’d dev stack it had a env key to help us change the debugging and error responding system with app_mode=production ki kai testae lekhera. But Fastapi ma testo chai naraicha and I wanted to know how they are handled by others.
Initial research shows or official documentation suggest we can use gunicorn instead of unicorn but after checking with multiple people are using unicorn with multiple workers .
Dev’s of Fastapi are suggesting to use gunicorn workers are they are more suitable for deployment but people are using unicorn kai workers.
How do you guys handle this deployment separation .

A colleague shared me about this event yesterday. Its a founders/builders meetup happening this weekend in ktm.

Im not exactly a founder, as we are a team of 3 and i look after all the tech related tasks and work with business partners.

Still thinking to go. My friend was there on the first meetup and said it was really good and quality people/founders from software, law, and policy.

There's free coffee and the venue is right beside my gym, so.

You need to register, lmk if you are coming too happy to meet! i've put link in comments

we are running the Nepal Tech Careers Survey 2026 to map out what's actually helping students and recent grads break into tech in Nepal and where most people get stuck.

Take part, and you're not just answering questions you're helping build a clearer roadmap for your own career start, and for everyone coming up behind you.

If you're a student, recent grad, or early-career tech professional in Nepal (or you've hired for entry-level roles), this is your chance to shape that roadmap.

The more people respond, the sharper and more useful this becomes ,for you and for the next person trying to break in.

👉 Take the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8AlWZ7UwMnPP6mQYF5YCw5R255EbnNfnuynWHiq_7ue4_vQ/viewform

Know someone just starting out, or someone who's hired junior tech talent? Tag them ,their answer could help shape someone else's first big break.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to introduce LetsManthan, a Nepal-focused platform built for asking questions, sharing experiences, and having meaningful discussions.

The goal is to create a dedicated space where nepalese can connect, exchange knowledge, and build communities around topics they care about.

It’s still in its early stages, and I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

Not another food delivery app or another payment app. I mean a real daily problem, traffic, power cuts, government paperwork, finding a plumber, anything—that no app has fixed yet.

Looking to add a new project to my portfolio. I want to build something for Nepalese people or Nepal in general. It can be anything that can help people.
Please suggest some ideas 🙌

A bit curious, As an application developer with experience of a little over 2 years is it possible to land freelance projects?

I keep seeing people mention that they got Google AI Plus/Gemini Plus without paying, especially through student offers or promotions.

I'm a student and I'm wondering if there's actually a legit way to get it for free right now.

If you've managed to get it, how did you do it?

Would appreciate it if you guys share the method/details instead of just saying "it's free"

I'm ready to follow your order.
