Tax authority’s excise sticker procurement bid faces yet another legal hurdle

The Supreme Court last week issued an interim order against the procurement process at a time when the tax authority is facing a shortage of different types of stickers.

Officials at the Department of Inland Revenue have once again hit a roadblock in their bid to procure excise duty stickers for liquor and tobacco products being sold in the country. This time, the issue could even halt the production and distribution of liquors and tobacco in Nepal.
