Why Is Company Closure in Nepal Complicated?
Stopping business operations does not automatically close a registered company. A company must fulfil its applicable legal, financial and regulatory obligations before it can formally cease to exist.
Depending on its circumstances, the closure process may involve:
- Completing pending annual audits.
- Preparing outstanding financial statements.
- Filing pending tax returns.
- Resolving outstanding tax liabilities.
- Addressing loans, creditors and other liabilities.
- Completing annual returns and statutory filings.
- Preparing shareholder and board resolutions.
- Meeting the requirements of the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR).
- Coordinating with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).
- Completing liquidation procedures, where required.
The requirements differ from one company to another. They depend on the company’s financial position, compliance history and legal status.
This is why professional assistance can make a significant difference.

Proven Experience in Complex Company Closure Cases
Not every company can follow a straightforward closure process. Some have years of pending audits, tax issues or incomplete financial records. Others have unresolved liabilities or regulatory complications.
ACS has specialised experience in handling such cases.
For example, in September 2026, we assisted with the closure of a company that had been operating for approximately ten years. Two previous service providers had spent more than two years trying to complete the process without success.
The company owner was referred to ACS by a professional chartered accountancy firm. Our team reviewed the situation and coordinated the closure process. The company was able to benefit from concessions available under the applicable Finance Act and paid no fines in that case.
The owner was highly satisfied with the outcome. Cases like this demonstrate the value of having the right professional team manage a complicated closure.
Trusted by Other Professional Service Providers
ACS provides company closure services to individual clients and other professional service providers through a business-to-business (B2B) arrangement.
We receive referrals from chartered accountancy firms, consultants and other professional service providers. They approach us when a company closure case requires specialised expertise or extensive follow-up.
Our experience in handling such cases has helped us build professional relationships across Nepal.
Dedicated Field-Level Support
Company closure often requires document submissions, office visits and repeated follow-ups.
Our in-house field personnel manage these practical requirements. They coordinate with the relevant offices and help keep the process moving.
One Team, One Point of Contact
You do not need to manage separate professionals for every requirement. ACS coordinates the entire process through one team.
This saves time and reduces the administrative burden on company owners and directors.
Company Closure Process in Nepal: Step-by-Step
The exact procedure depends on the company’s circumstances and applicable legal requirements. The following steps provide a general overview of how ACS manages company closure.
Step 1: Initial Company Assessment
We begin by reviewing the company’s registration details and current status.
We examine its financial records, tax position and compliance history. This helps us identify potential complications at an early stage.
Step 2: Identification of Outstanding Obligations
We identify the company’s pending requirements. These may include:
- Annual audits and financial statements.
- Tax returns and outstanding tax liabilities.
- Annual returns and statutory filings.
- Loans, creditors and other liabilities.
- Missing company records.
- Other legal and regulatory obligations.
Step 3: Determining the Appropriate Closure Procedure
Not every company follows the same closure procedure.
We assess the company’s financial position, liabilities and legal status. We then identify the applicable route, which may involve deregistration (darta khareji) or formal liquidation.
Step 4: Preparation of Documents
Our team coordinates the preparation and review of the required documents.
These may include company resolutions, financial statements, audit reports, tax documents and applications.
We check the documents for completeness and consistency before submission.
Step 5: Completion of Audit, Tax and Compliance Requirements
We coordinate outstanding audit, tax and company compliance matters.
Our team also manages the necessary communication with the relevant authorities.
Step 6: Publication of Public Notice
The applicable closure procedure may require publication of a public notice in a national daily newspaper. Where required, the notice must be published in accordance with the prescribed requirements.
ACS coordinates the notice publication and related formalities on your behalf.
Step 7: Liquidation, Where Required
Some cases require formal liquidation.
Where applicable, we coordinate the liquidation process in accordance with the law. This may involve dealing with company assets, liabilities and creditors.
Step 8: Submission and Regulatory Follow-Up
We manage the required submissions and follow-up with the OCR, IRD and other relevant authorities.
If an authority requests additional documents or clarification, our team coordinates the response.
Step 9: Final Closure and Tax Office Formalities
Formal closure at the OCR may not be the final step.
You may also need to complete the applicable PAN cancellation and tax clearance formalities with the tax office. This is an important part of completing the company’s closure properly.
ACS coordinates the necessary tax office formalities and guides you through the remaining requirements.
Documents Required for Company Closure in Nepal
The documents required depend on the company’s circumstances and the applicable closure procedure.
Commonly required documents include:
- Company registration certificate.
- Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association.
- PAN registration certificate.
- Shareholder and director details.
- Board and shareholder resolutions, where applicable.
- Previous financial statements and audit reports.
- Tax returns and relevant tax documents.
- Records of company assets and liabilities.
- Bank statements and financial records.
- Annual returns and statutory filing records.
- Other documents required by the relevant authorities.
You do not need to have every document ready before contacting ACS.
Our team can review your available records, identify missing documents and guide you through the requirements.
Closure vs. Liquidation in Nepal
Company closure refers to the process of formally ending a company’s legal existence through the applicable legal procedure.
Company liquidation involves dealing with a company’s assets, liabilities and financial affairs. It may include realising assets and settling outstanding obligations.
The appropriate procedure depends on the company’s financial position and legal circumstances.
For example, certain companies may qualify for deregistration (darta khareji) without undergoing formal liquidation. Other companies may need to follow a liquidation procedure.
Can a Company with Pending Tax or Audit Matters Be Closed?
Yes, a company with pending tax or audit matters may still be able to pursue closure. However, the outstanding requirements must be addressed according to applicable law.
Common issues include:
- Several years of pending annual audits.
- Unfiled tax returns.
- Outstanding tax liabilities.
- Incomplete accounting records.
- Pending annual returns with the OCR.
- Other unresolved compliance matters.
These issues can complicate the process. However, they do not necessarily mean that closure is impossible.
ACS specialises in handling such cases. We assess the outstanding matters and coordinate the necessary professional work.
How Much Does It Cost to Close a Company in Nepal?
ACS’s service fees generally start at NPR 26,000 for deregistration (darta khareji) and NPR 40,000 for closure through liquidation. These amounts exclude audit fees.
The final cost depends on the company’s individual circumstances.
Factors that may affect the total cost include:
- The company’s compliance history.
- The number of pending audits.
- Outstanding tax matters.
- Existing loans and liabilities.
- Whether formal liquidation is required.
- Professional fees and government charges.
- The complexity of the documentation.
A company with complete records may require less work. A company with several years of pending compliance may require considerably more.
ACS reviews the company’s position before providing a case-specific cost estimate.
The starting fees are indicative. Additional professional work, audits, government charges and other case-specific requirements may affect the final amount.

The estimated time required depends on the applicable closure procedure.
Based on our current service experience, the general estimates are:
- Deregistration (darta khareji): Approximately 35–60 days.
- Closure through liquidation: Approximately 30–45 days.
These are indicative estimates, not guaranteed completion periods.
The actual duration may vary depending on the company’s records, compliance status, financial position and regulatory processing.
