Mandatory Enlistment and Registration of Social Media Platforms
To regulate digital communication, the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology requires international social networks to establish local compliance offices.
1. Establishment of a Local Office
Social media platforms exceeding specified user thresholds must register a branch office or appoint a local representative in Nepal.
2. Local Tax Compliance
Entities must register under the VAT system and pay taxes on digital advertisements targeted at Nepalese audiences.
3. Compliance with Government Directives
Platforms must respond to requests from law enforcement agencies to remove content violating cyber security guidelines.
