Chaudhary Group (CG) has paid Rs 25.59 billion in taxes to the Government of Nepal during the fiscal year 2081/82, which the company says is roughly 2% of the country’s total revenue.

Despite political instability, slow economic activities, and a challenging investment environment, CG stated that it has continued to make a strong contribution to the national treasury.

In the previous fiscal year 2080/81, the group had paid Rs 18.52 billion in taxes. This means CG paid over Rs 7 billion more this year, reflecting what the company calls its rapid investment growth.

Over the past five years, CG has paid a total of Rs 92.26 billion in taxes to the government. According to Nirvana Chaudhary, Managing Director of CG, the company is increasing its revenue contribution through the expansion of both existing and new businesses.

He wrote on social media:
“Although there is no official system for publicly recognising the total tax paid by business groups, we are grateful that the Finance Minister acknowledged CG’s contribution. Last year, CG paid Rs 25.59 billion in taxes, making a significant contribution to the national revenue. We are proud to support the country’s treasury even during challenging times.”

In Nepal, tax payments by business groups are not usually listed or published separately, which CG says creates confusion among the public about the actual contribution of taxpayers. However, Chaudhary Group has been voluntarily publishing its total tax details every year.
