Key Charges in Share Transactions

When you buy or sell shares, there are multiple charges that you need to consider. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ones:

 

1. Broker Commission

The broker commission is the fee charged by your stockbroker for facilitating the transaction. In Nepal, the rates vary based on the transaction amount:

• Up to NPR 50,000: 0.40% of the transaction amount
• NPR 50,000 - 500,000: 0.37%
• NPR 500,000 - 2,000,000: 0.34%
• NPR 2,000,000 - 10,000,000: 0.30%
• Above NPR 10,000,000: 0.27%

Note: The minimum broker commission is NPR 10. For bonds and mutual funds, the rates may differ.

 

2. SEBON Fee

The SEBON fee is charged by the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON). It is set at 0.015% of the transaction amount and is payable during share purchases.

 

3. DP Charge

The Depository Participant (DP) fee is a flat charge of NPR 25 per company per day. Even if you purchase shares of the same company multiple times in a day, the DP charge remains constant at NPR 25.

 

4. Capital Gains Tax

If you sell shares at a higher price than their purchase cost, you are required to pay capital gains tax:

• Shares sold within 1 year of purchase: 7.5% of the gain
• Shares held for more than 1 year: 5% of the gain
• Founder shares: 10% of the gain

Note: If you sell shares at a loss, capital gains tax is not applicable, but other fees (like broker commission, SEBON fee, and DP charges) still apply.
