The Nepal Can Move Pvt Ltd and the related companies and directors have been facing a tax evasion case by the government of Rs 1.368 billion. The Department of Revenue Investigation (DoRI) alleged that they concealed sales proceeds and failed to pay VAT, resulting in a loss of huge amounts of revenue.
The company was accused of using an online system service that had its server in Australia to bypass the tax system used in Nepal, and the transactions were billed manually in order to conceal actual sales. Key shareholders such as Sudip Acharya and Jiwan Gyawali have failed to show up and are now on the run in spite of being summoned several times.
