The New Capital Gains Tax Rules for NEPSE Retail Investors
The latest structural adjustments implemented in the fiscal budget have altered the tax rates for secondary market operations on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE). The tax collection mechanisms managed through MeroShare and CDSC are now configured to pull higher percentage brackets directly from net capital profits.
If you are a swing trader utilizing TMS platforms or a long-term value holder, understanding your exact holding liability is essential before executing your sell orders.

๐จ Avoid the 364-Day Settlement Trap
The automated CDSC tax assessment system calculates your holding period right down to the exact block hour. If you sell a highly profitable stock position on your TMS at day 364 instead of holding it until day 366, you will be penalized by an automated 2.5% tax surge across your entire gross margin.
Before executing any major sell orders, always navigate to your MeroShare Portal > My Purchase Source > WACC Calculation module to verify your exact acquisition history and calendar days. Letting a stock sit for an extra 48 hours could protect a substantial portion of your trading returns from shifting to a higher tax bracket.
