Kathmandu, Aug 7: Winners of the taxpayer incentive prize have been announced.
\nAt an event held today at the Ministry of Finance under the programme initiated by the Inland Revenue Department, Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle selected 15 winners and one bumper prize winner.<\/p>\n

The Department informed that the coupon number 007315254493 won Rs 1,000,000 under the bumper prize programme.<\/p>\n

The person with this coupon had participated at the programme by purchasing goods worth Rs 250 from Shiva Krishna General Store.<\/p>\n

Launching the taxpayer incentive gift programme, Minister Wagle said it will help promote the culture of issuing and receiving bills and support the growth of the formal economy.
\nHe also expressed confidence that the programme announced through this fiscal year’s budget will make the public financial system more transparent.<\/p>\n

“We need to move towards a billing culture. All transactions should be recorded. Our goal is to create a public finance system where it is transparently visible how much tax is collected from citizens and where that money is spent,” he said.<\/p>\n

Arrangements have been made for transactions made through digital payments to be automatically recorded in the system.<\/p>\n

Sharing that in the first phase, transactions worth about Rs 25.6 million were made and over Rs 7 billion have been included in the system, the Finance Minister expressed confidence that monthly transactions will reach billions in the coming days.<\/p>\n

“The programme encourages many taxpayers to use digital methods, to give and take bills, and to come under the tax net,” he said, “It will be effective in controlling revenue leakage and expanding the formal economy.”<\/p>\n

The government has launched the ‘Taxpayer Incentive Gift Programme’ to promote the culture of issuing and receiving bills (VAT bills) and to make economic transactions transparent.
\nOn the occasion, Bhishma Kumar Bhusal, Director General of the Inland Revenue Department, informed that the winners of the daily and first fortnight bumper prizes from the fiscal year starting Sawan 1 to 15 were selected through a computer system.<\/p>\n

According to him, the ‘cryptographically secure uniform random sampling without replacement’ method was used for selecting the winners.<\/p>\n

He stated that this method ensures every coupon has an equal chance, the same coupon cannot be selected more than once in a single draw, and the selection process is completely fair and secure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
