What Is the Green Tax?
Previously, importing goods through Nepal's customs required paying 4–5 separate border charges: road development levy, road maintenance and improvement fee, infrastructure development fee, etc. Each was collected at different points with different rates — creating confusion, delays, and corruption opportunities. The Green Tax merges all into one clean charge collected at a single customs point, with proceeds earmarked for infrastructure and environmental purposes.
✅ Merits
360 goods become cheaper — direct consumer benefit
Single Green Tax reduces border corruption
7 tiers cuts classification disputes
⚠️ Challenges
Revenue loss from excise removal — needs VAT compliance to offset
360-item specific list to be confirmed in Finance Bill 2083

- ३६० वस्तुको अन्तःशुल्क खारेज → ती वस्तु सस्तो
- सडक विकास कर, मर्मत शुल्क → एकीकृत "हरित कर"
- भन्सार ११ तह → ७ तह → विवाद र भ्रष्टाचार कम
- २७३ कच्चा पदार्थमा भन्सार: तयारी वस्तुभन्दा कम्तिमा एक तह कम
