AskDafa

In developmentPlanned for release on Hugging Face

An open model for Nepali tax law.

We're building AskDafa for accountants and CAs working with Nepal's tax laws. It brings original Nepali provisions and expert-reviewed examples into a model designed to help check their work.

01The questions

The questions behind the idea.

Accountants and CAs ask questions like these when they check a client's filing. We're building AskDafa to help with them.

A possible question

Does this transaction fall within the applicable VAT rules?

Facts a real check needs

  • What was supplied, and to whom
  • The seller's VAT registration
  • The fiscal year

Main act

मूल्य अभिवृद्धि कर ऐन, २०५२

Value Added Tax Act, 2052

Read with that year's Finance Act.

A short question rarely holds enough facts for a firm answer. AskDafa is designed to ask for the ones that are missing.

02Our planned approach

Start from the source.

  1. 01

    Original Nepali provisions

    Acts, rules and each year's Finance Act, read in the original Nepali.

  2. 02

    Expert-reviewed examples

    Questions and answers that CAs and lawyers review against those provisions.

  3. 03

    An open model

    Trained on those examples and planned for release on Hugging Face, so anyone can download it.

A possible questionEnglish

Is the withholding treatment for this payment correct?

सम्बन्धित दफा
The relevant दफा, kept in the original Nepali.

When someone asks a question, the plan is to look up the relevant official passages and give them to the model along with it. The answer can then point to the दफा it relies on, and you can read the source yourself. The model and the source library are separate pieces, and each release will say which of them it includes.

03Why we're building it

Checking tax work in Nepal means finding the provision that applies and reading it in the original Nepali. Those provisions sit across acts, rules, amendments and each year's Finance Act.

We're building AskDafa because we want them to be easier to find, understand and use while you check a filing.
