In a commendable initiative to recognize fiscal responsibility and contribution to the national revenue, the Nepalese government, led by Finance Minister Dr. Prakash Sharan Mahat, has honored the highest taxpayers in 16 different categories for the fiscal year 2079/80. This prestigious event, coinciding with National Tax Day 2080, underscores the vital role these entities play in bolstering Nepal's economy.

The Significance of Tax Compliance 

This recognition is more than just an honor; it’s a reminder of the importance of timely and transparent tax compliance. As Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a prominent figure of the 17th century, wisely noted, 

"The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing." 

This quote aptly encapsulates the delicate balance of effective tax policy.

Why Tax Compliance Matters 

Tax compliance is the cornerstone of a healthy economy, funding critical public services and infrastructure. By acknowledging these top taxpayers, the government not only appreciates their contribution but also sets a benchmark for others to aspire to, fostering a culture of accountability and fiscal integrity.
