TAXATION ON BOOKS : EXPLAINED
In this episode, I and my friend have talked all the necessary aspects about the tax imposed on books by the Nepal government. You will also get a glimpse of what exactly is the current situation with respect to the past, and what kind of impacts this will bring out in the society. I have also covered the opinions of famous personalities such as Ex-primeminister Dr Baburam Bhattarai to the most loved writers such as Nayanraj Pandey and Aanbika Giri, who have stood in solidarity and participated actively in the #MakeBooksTaxFree campaign.
I have used these clips from the social media page called https://twitter.com/makebooktaxfree. In Pokhara, this campaign is actively and consistently supported by https://twitter.com/whatthebookclub.

I sincerely hope and wish that our Finance Minister along with the government takes notice of the oversight ASAP. For the next episode,I have an interesting story of a bibliophile. Until then, KEEP READING!! 💚💚 Feedbacks at thebookishuniverse@gmail.com.
