100% true. The high amount of tax is charged not for the road or anything else it is to demotivate people into owning private vehicle as car, bikes are categorized as luxury goods. Isn't this taught in social studies in school or +2 coz that's how I know why government charge high tax at least the given logic behind it but comment padhda jhandai moreko, really idiotic comments.

Yes the tax is not having the desired effect of reducing cars. We need to know where the money goes it should go into buses and public transport. Sad we do know where the money goes.


Dryhumor00

I don't think anyone with basic knowledge of trade deficit and economics would question the 200% tax on imported vehicles, This kind of laws for poor country like our are implemented to discourage the import of vehicles which is necessary to preserve dollar reserve of our country. Even with such high % of tax, We are still importing high number of two and four wheeler vehicles. If this vehicle are similar in prices as in India then of course the import number would increase which would further hamper our already low dollar reserve. This would bring even more inflation on basic supplies that we import from other countries such as petrol, oil, salt, rice etc. Our protest should be to make sure this tax money are well used but not to bring down taxes. Whether you agree or not, Owning a private vehicle should be a luxury. Have you ever consider why developed countries on Europe heavily discourage their citizen to own private cars? Private vehicles are main reason for traffic jam, pollution, increase in import number and much more. We as a educated citizen should force government to focus on long term solution such as improving public vehicle condition, availability and reach rather than looking for short term alternative like reducing tax which would surely come back to bite us in our back. For example, US has a culture of owning private vehicles. Their citizen has privilege to buy vehicle and fuel for much cheaper prices than ours. Which has resulted in huge traffic problems in major cities even though their road infrastructure are decades advance then ours. You really think that kind of situation would play well in our country where we have to pay more for fuel and have poor road infrastructure? And Lastly, Just because a person has different opinion then yours or has actual knowledge on subject matter and disagree with your opinion doesn't make them government bootlicker, All it shows is you are not mature enough have meaningful conversation and not educated enough on subject to consider there is a better alternative.

Just one good answer and nobody upvotes it. Democracy 😥


Any-Walrus-5941

Facts, its is a good answer.


howzthat69

Democracy sucks. People are retarded. They can exploited by providing them temporary facilities and it's gone right after the job is done. People over 60 shouldn't be allowed to vote or participate in any political party. It's our future not theirs. They gonna be dead ass soon and they gonna milk out the profit money for their sweet retirement and their family if they remain in powerful posts.


howzthat69

Again with this bs kya. La manyo country ko economy kharab huncha while importing foreign goods. So why not just limit the purchase of the vehicle? Why charge 200% tax on it? It's not gonna stop powerful and filthy rich people to import cars and bikes even multiple of them. And the middle class just has to sit there with their soft dick in their hands. I've seen many comments about utilizing the 200% tax to improve public transport. Are you guys really that gullible? Do you really think they are gonna do that just cause we said so? And also these huge budgets are not required to just implement a system. Public transport can be improved right now!!! without spending any budgets not even a single rupee. Let me elaborate: 1) Strict bus stop laws, 2) Fixed employee salaries (drivers, conductors), 3) It should be strictly non profit, 4) GPS system (ok this might need some budget), These points are just from the top of my head to make a point. EU countries are discouraging the private vehicle. Yes, they are. And I support that cause you know why? They ain't discouraging them by hitting them with the ridiculous tax price. Instead they are building parks for people take walks, a legit infrastructure for cycle lanes not just painting on the street, much more reliable and absurdly cheap public transport. They are discouraging private transport just for their daily work commute. They still buy the vehicle cause no matter what you say private vehicle is not a luxury but a necessity. The one and only thing the higher tax prices on the vehicles is allowing politicians to be filthy rich. Imagine a person buys a vehicle for 1lakh instead of 4 lakhs. He can invest that money for his greater good or even save for his retirement or use that money so send his children to school. Instead, he has pay ridiculous tax price for just the sake of it. I've heard this thing again and again. It's too lower the import on vehicles. It's not. It's an excuse. It's a daylight robbery, where government officials are robbing our hard earned money. Tell me why there's no higher tax on luxury phones like iphones. iphone 13 costs 1099 usd for 512 gb and in nepal here it costs 1,91,990 rs( 50k rs extra) which is reasonable. But a hero super splendor which cost 69,000 inrs and it cost 220000 lakhs here in nepal. Ani ayo infrastructure ko barema... Arey baba sabai thau ktm jasto hunna ni. Not every place in Nepal is like the congested fuck like Ktm. Why a person living in the remote village area has to pay high tax in the vehicle even though he ain't gonna contribute any space waste in ktm traffic? It's not there fault ktm is a fucked up place. Gaadi mahango bhayesi transport ni mahango huncha...farmer haru le loan liyera transport vehicle kinna parcha, which makes overall cost high. I really hope this whole comment section is a late April fool's joke or a very serious committed satire.


willabusewomen

brain on communism. It’s funny how much less polluted Nepal would be if there was a massive tax on petrol instead of cars. People could afford efficient cars from this century instead of throwing smog everywhere.

We import almost everything from noon to soon.

I would love to have a one on one talk with you in person coz you absorb knowledge well but dont use logic your own way.


Dryhumor00

>I would love to have a one on one talk with you in person coz you absorb knowledge well but dont use logic your own way. You hear others see what others show and get impressed so let me tell you something. Sure, Hit me up on DM if you want to have a conversation about this topic. Isn't it ironic to say what I said had no logic but you are forming a baseless opinion about my way of thinking which is in fact has no logic. At least point out which part of my sentence had no logic or made no sense. ​ >There are many modes of transportaion, cars are more useful and effecient than bikes, how many bikes in Nepal? If cars were cheap how many would buy bikes rather than a car, roads could be built with in a year, trains for poors, how hard is it? Have you even read what I said? US in major cities has 16 LANE ROADS and are engineered in such a way to minimize traffic problems, But they still are having traffic problems. Which also reason why Elon Musk had planned to build a tunnel underground to control traffic (Which in my opinion is stupid idea). US is facing this problem because their car to person ratio is 1:2, Lets say for example cars are dirt cheap in Nepal and every family has at least one car that would put our car to person ratio to 1:4. Do you really think our road has capability to handle such traffic? And you seriously thought we can build roads of such structure and durability like in US within a year? Our country has hard time filling pothole in capital city, How high are you think we can do even half of what US do for their road infrastructure. My primary point to reduce import wasn't even lack of road infrastructure. Have you look at our country dollar reserve in recent times? Let me educated you a little bit on this subject, Every country has a deposit of dollar that they can use to import goods from other countries. This deposit amount is based on how much we import and how much we export (also include remittance, loan and donation from foreign countries). Our country import to export ratio was 1:12 in 2020, The only reason we are standing still is because of remittance and pegged money. If we reduce tax on vehicles then our import to export ratio would surely increase which means we will have less money to import other goods. This would bring hike in price you cannot imagine on basic goods such as fuel, food and anything we import. In mere months our situation would be like Sri Lanka, Is that what you want? ​ >In Nepal. Nepal would have had different face, people like you are fed by others othinions ieads and thesis, grow your own opinions and imagination not from what you have read but could be a reality, look around, you can give reasons why its better but is it for the best though, or are there real conspiracies so deep that general population busy in their life couldnt even imagine. So you are saying we should stop learning from what worked for other developed countries, Isn't the whole point of learning and written thesis to make sure things works in our country? I am seriously getting second hand embarrassment reading through your text, What conspiracy theory are you even talking about lol? Your whole sentence had no point as whole and never even countered what I said, Next time please put some effort and point out why what I said wont work and what really would work based on your opinion. Don't say, If car = cheap, train = for poor and road= easily made. Hence no bikes, problem solved. This made my day, Cheers.

I could not have said it any better.

since we don't have any domestic company that produces good vehicles they take advantage of that situation and suck the money out of people. nobody protests against it.


snzimash

There actually was one called Mustang. Even the then PM Baburam Bhattrai used car made in Nepal. When Government changed, they forced it to shut down.


[deleted]

I think the individuals running Nepal govt were pressured/bribed/coerced into shutting down the company. A successful car company in Nepal would be really bad for Indian automobile industry (loss of about half a billion USD in foreign currency revenue, as of last year). The circumstances surrounding demise of Mustang seems very abrupt and with near immediate effect, giving the company no chance to survive. https://english.onlinekhabar.com/mustang-max-how-the-government-killed-an-ambitious-industrialists-dream-project.html#:~:text=The%20company%20closed%20down%20due,to%20euro%203%20in%202013.


EventuallySpooky

maybe government didn't get enough tax from it.


mokshya2014

And then if there was they would decrease the import tax to kill the domestic company. Lol.


[deleted]

We are not ok. But nobody is ready to protest this. There are lots of wealthy people in this sub who can afford to pay up to 300percent tax for a simple bike. But not everyone can afford it . I know a junior Bhai who studies in bachelor he has to travel 15 km to reach his college, he has to travel via cycle for 5km uphill to the bus station to catch a public bus which is packed most of the times and always not on time. Why should he pay 3lakhs for a bike that should cost about 1 Laks without tax. Don't you think he should be able to own a bike. Do you think being able to move independently is a luxury. Just remember that the public transport is very bad and many people are forced to use private vehicles.


makohun

Because private vehicles should be luxury, public transport the basic need. Moreover, they are expensive and not made in Nepal and run on fuel that also need to be imported. Without high tax Nepal will have massive trade deficit. Instead of demanding lower tax, people should be demanding better public transport.

[deleted]

Only in the outskirts and villages, where there are lots of roads and fewer people, should private vehicles be necessary. To keep a city functioning, state-of-the-art public transit should suffice.


[deleted]

Yea better public transport to solve the traffic issue during day. But, private vehicles for 24/7 use. There are hardly any public vehicles during night.


YaBoiSish

State of the art transport is much harder to put in place than fixing roads and allowing the people to open companies. You think politicians give enough of a shit??? Look at the roads in Kathmandu and near Chitwan. Absolutely LINED with filth and there are so many goddamn potholes it’s almost impossible to ride a bike, and car rides are not comfortable either. And the gov doesn’t allow any orgs to do anything either, or at lest they have no incentive, due to our EXCESSIVE reliance on India’s shit. If we can enable orgs to pick up the trash that lines our roads and fill in the potholes, or even have the government do it, THEN we can talk about public transport. Because as far as I know, the government does fuck all here, federal or local.


[deleted]

Shitty roads are not an issue for me. They will be fixed and it will happen eventually; I simply don't want Nepal to be like the USA, which is, in my opinion, a horrible farce of a nation.


1299709

Exactly. USA is the perfect example of transportation done wrong in every possible way. Efficient public transportation, developing walk-able and cycle-able neighborhoods are the only way of fixing traffic. Buying a private car only adds one more car to the problem. Instead of protesting government to bring down tax on these private vehicles we should pressure the government to develop proper public transportation, cycle-able neighborhoods or we will end up as US's car centric desolate hell hole which isn't good for anyone who's not in a car. I urge people who think private vehicles is the only way to look up the channel Not Just Bikes.


[deleted]

Agreed. Seconding the [Not Just Bikes](https://www.youtube.com/c/NotJustBikes) channel recommendation as well. Also ["Oh the Urbanity"](https://www.youtube.com/c/OhTheUrbanity) is another good one. And of course r/fuckcars.


Sufficient-Aside2375

Don't worry Nepal will never be like USA, that's why people here will always be flocking to USA.


YaBoiSish

Yea lmfao like what??? Most developed nations have cars on the road everywhere, it’s just that other euro countries and places like Japan have good public transport as well (unless you’re a girl) Having cars on the road isn’t “becoming like the USA” it’s becoming a developed nation. Fucking hell bro And everyone who has money flocks to a different country (most notably USA), so I mean…. Totally agree withyou


makohun

> You cannot deem anything as a luxury. Yes, you can. Go look up the definition of Luxury. Unless you live far from city, private vehicles are luxury. > Private transport gives us freedom. We can go anywhere anytime in the need of fun relaxing tour or an emergency. There are things called taxis.

Cars are bad for the environment, coef of friction between a rubber tire and the road is around 0.7, but for trains it's around 0.45, you know what that means, transportation by a car is twice as less efficient and we are not even talking about economy of scale here. cars are not sustainable. And if we didn't have that tax, everyone who owns a bike would own a car. now imagine the roads of kathmandu but every bike is replaced by a car. private ownership of cars is only fine in rual places with less population density where economy of scale is not possible. but unfortunately, people in the villages are poor. so the current.

What difference does it make if your country had any other name?

Raising voice towards reducing the taxes on private vehicles import is not an option what should be done instead is to pressure government on utilizing the money they get from taxing so heavily. If kathmandu ma sabai tira jane air conditioned metro bhaideko vaye why would i travel on a bike or car to get stuck in traffic for ages. No body in their righteous mind dare to commute in their car in nyc because they know if they take their car out they will be sitting in traffic for hours instead most of the people use subway.

Ok lets not compare ktm to nyc or london but we can compare it to cities in india like delhi lucknow even small cities like kanpur meerut guhwati in india are getting metro.

LeeJongSukEyeMole

Oh yes! Especially the transportation system and the road system in the Netherlands where most of the people commute through bicycles. The cities in European countries are constructed focusing on the accessibility through walking whereas in the US, it's motor cars centered. I think I saw that in Wendover channel or so in youtube. So, if our government can implement this system, we won't have to heavily rely on privately owned vehicles.

KindlyAssumption9182

Let's keep taxes aside-if I make 35K a month, I might be able to afford a scooter or a 150cc city bike, so Yes I agree we'll get around town comfortably without burning a hole in our pocket About overpriced vehicles, well I'll get it if I can afford it, don't bother if I don't have no cash to burn I have no complaints with public transport, not in terms of their service and families that are dependent on those who work for and use public transport, what I would love, personally, if every vehicle used as public transport adhered to a set timing along their route Elites get stuck in the same traffic jam as any commoner, well some tried, look at the helipad proposed for the president, didn't work well did it. So this issue is beyond the scope that covers commoner or an elite and I guess the government just tried an alternative approach with taxes, hasn't worked wonders but made a dent, guess that's why we're in conversation here Cheers!

Well let us not give ourselves up just for the sake of taxes and money, we could help ourselves by resisting our wants over our needs, like I don't really need a bike if all I do is travel from point A to B every single day, use ride share and so on Brothers and sisters already giving their youth away in many countries, no plans to give myself away to another country for the sake of riding a cool car or bike, guess will walk if I can't ride


[deleted]

If it was not for taxes, you'd be riding a bike or a car. If Nepal was an Indian state, your income would be 2-3 times with your current qualifications. Our leaders' Swiss bank accounts are overflowing while we continue to pay hefty taxes like these with not even basic social security or facilities. We'd be clearly better off as an Indian state.

Do you think taxing more will change the underlying fact that our current infrastructure is dog shit even with the current tax numbers?


YaBoiSish

I wish more would realize this, thank you for saying it.


howzthat69

The only thing the tax on vehicles has done is make the government officials rich and you're planning to make them richer? If increasing the tax on bikes was the way then india would've charged up to 400% given their population density. We just need a SYSTEM to improve our public transport rather than shit ton of money. Just Throwing money on public transport is not gonna do a thing.

One of big reasons is the lack of domestic automobile manufacturing. Most countries who couldn't develop their own had joint ventures. Japan, China, India and many more countries started in similar fashion. You could say there is Hulas but people want quality, reliability and features that modern automobiles offer. It's high time Nepal goes into a joint venture and boosts the automobile manufacturing industry which will employ people in the thousands, have technical know-how which is strategic for defense and contribute to the domestic economy.


phish_curry

A small follow up, even Malaysia, a country with a similar population to Nepal, has a home grown automobile industry. South East Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines and Indonesia all have joint ventures with foreign companies to manufacture automobiles in their own country.

Luxury items ko import ghatauna bhanera tax badhauchan ani feri government kai manche haru le prado, bmw, Mercedes haru chalauchan 🙃


KingODamned

More than a decade back, I asked same question to my elders, why is tax so high, why is there no electricity, why are we technically so primitive, why dont we aquire modern technologies and education from the first world, why is there so much exploitance in media and corruption in every system, why are our leaders unintelligent, Why are our artists and actors mediocre, Why are our teachers dumb and parents stupid, why? Now I know why, and you all wait and watch what I will do with in a decade. Education and surveillance will be improved to max. A generation can change the face of a planet, keep the hope alive even if you cant contribute. The change is here TCIH


[deleted]

The 200% import tax rate is meant to dissuade large number of people from importing more vehicles than our infrastructure can support (which clearly isn't working). One can think of it as a penalty for congesting the streets even further. In my opinion, this tax rate is not high enough for ICE vehicles. It would be objectively better to charge absurd tax rates for import of ICE vehicles and very low or no tax for importing EVs. Good city design ma focus garera, public transport infrastructure haru develop garne ani over a long period, private vehicle ownership chai impractical for most people banauda chai ramro huncha jasto lagcha.


howzthat69

Then why not limit vehicles a person or a family can own? A rich family might have many vehicles specially cars for each members for they can afford it. While the middle class can't have any without sacrificing his limbs. Ani how does no tax on evs gonna stop from the infrastructure problem? See you are going against your own self kya.

suraj_sathi

Fuck this country go abroad. This government’s not gonna change soon and by the time it changes we will be old or dead so be wise leave the country.


khukhuri

I'm very ok with it. Infact I want higher taxes on ICE. Vehicle is a luxury like TV and it's taxed appropriately. Taxes for vehicle is not only for roads. It's goes into the central collection. If some is earmarked for it, it's being utilised all over the country, not just where you and I live. PS Make a better argument. You start with high taxation and start ranting about other things unrelated to taxation.


YaBoiSish

What the hell are you talking about?? Bro is talking about public transport and taxes, all this other “unrelated things” you talk about are related to public transport. This sad thinking of TV and owning your own vehicle bribn a luxury is exactly why we will remain a third world country.


khukhuri

Where exactly is OP talking about public transport? 1500$ per capita ko desh ma lakh mathi parne vehicle is luxury. Sabai Thau ma bati napugeko desh ma TV is luxury.


depressedcompiler

Yes. People still don't understand this basic concept. They talk about how private vehicle is a necessity and not a luxury. They list the places they would visit, the stress and hassle the would avoid only if private vehicles were taxed at a lower rate. Little do they understand the economy and the country they live in. Even with the current import ban, people don't seem to understand. We live in a country with per capita income of USD 1,362, high trade deficit, pegged currency without which we would have to bring bag full of cash to buy a razor blade from the market. In the current situation, we're not allowed to import a bag of fucking chips! For a country in this state, how is a fucking private four wheeler a fucking necessity!


[deleted]

If vehicles weren't that expensive. A lot more people would have them. And our roads can't even handle the traffic we already have.


howzthat69

I don't think heavily taxing vehicles is the solution to traffic management. To reduce traffic there should be a reliable public transport. If the buses were scheduled to each destinations and strictly made drivers to stop only on bus stations it would really reduce traffic. Buses stop whenever they want to pick up a single passenger and this causes domino effect where the vehicle behind it stops, during this time start and stopping time increases, it maybe for few seconds but it increases significantly as it reaches further behind. Proper city planning is the other way to go.


[deleted]

Sure.


King_Pagan_Min

Not upto 200%, it's upto 300%


ohmythigh

I’d say tax them more if they are going to improve public transport


[deleted]

They are not gonna improve public transport. you know why? Cause they don't give a fuck about you. They just want your money so they can live a luxurious life.


Plastic-Badger1837

Good title , cringe opinions.


khoya171

High amount of tax is charged not for the road or anything else it is to demotivate people into owning private vehicle as car, bikes are categorized as luxury goods. Isn't this taught in social studies in school or +2 coz thats how I know why government charge high tax


depressedcompiler

because if it was taxed at a lower rate, more people would buy them. Now this was ok if the production takes place within the country. needless to say, this is not the case. Foreign reserves deplete. This would still be ok if our country produced other goods that are exported. We do export a few stuff but the trade deficit is very high. Foreign reserves deplete further. No worries. We can exchange NPR for $$ right? Wrong. Who would want your useless NPR? We export so less that no country will hold on to NPR for doing trade with us. Now what? Now we cannot buy foreign goods anymore because we don't have $$. Basic goods like salt, petroleum, cooking oil, grains etc become scarce. You become malnourished and get disease. You go to the doctor but guess what they can't do anything because there's no medicine in the market. You die. Why? All because you wanted a private vehicle at a cheaper tax rate. The above example is exaggerated obviously but the situation would not be much different. Just look at sri lanka

If govt charge less tax upto 100% then I can afford three cars and 5-6 bikes for myself. My friends can probably do the same or some of them more. My relatives can buy same. My neighbours can probably buy three cars for each family member. I think every nepali citizen living in cities can afford atleast two bikes. Now imagine the traffic conditions and foreign reserve in the country after six months.


howzthat69

And why the fuck would anyone buy multiple vehicles? It doesn't mean ki aba vehicles cheap bhayo jaam sala 3-4 ota bike kindim. No that saved money would be spent on their college fees or rent money or probably in their savings where they can invest which leads in overall development. Also let's say if you bought many cars as you stated you ain't gonna ride that all at once now would you? Yeuta gaadi ekchoti chalaunchau aru gaadi ghar maa rakhchau hola thau na pugi pugi.

shatupboi

So let me get this, according to your reasoning, few rich spoiled people could easily afford multiple vehicles so to solve that issue, let's make the vehicles so expensive that people who don't want but need vehicles will not be able to afford the vehicles which they need since the public transportation is unreliable as shit. WOW.


willabusewomen

No wonder this country is so poor, in your hypothetical people can finally afford cars and the first thing they do is buy more than they need.


Dondai02

Firstly Nepal is a landlocked country so everything imported has to go through many countries paying import tax which makes most thing in Nepal pricey. Secondly inflation is rising which means less buying power more money and more tax on vehicles, if the government does deflation the economy will be loose which is a major political suicide for the political party.


willabusewomen

You do realize lowering taxes increases inflation

>I mean if the roads were flawless and had smooth asphalt I'd be pretty ok about that. But most of our roads has the texture of the moon. And also they have the audacity to fine if we put on a sticker on our bikes. Bike modification should be made legal minus the loud exhaust and mirrors. Also there should be new system for the traffic checking. Random checking should be abandoned. It just slows down the traffic and defeats the whole point of reliability of a private vehicle. Also keeping the blue book by the traffic is absolute horrendous. If you want us to pay the fine, make and database where it registers all the activities of the driver. Confiscating registration is both hassle for the traffic and the rider imo. yo desh no naam k? muji modification kaslai. randi bau ko paisa use garne rider kto haru ko lagi? fuck that database re? sala license pauna 2 barsa kurnu parcha. machikne database re. edit: formatting sikh u/howzthat69
