SC stays RCCC order to slap VAT on Birgunj medical college Kathmandu July 13 - The Supreme Court (SC), on Tuesday, ordered the Royal Commission for Corruption Control (RCCC) and the tax office based in Birgunj to stay its order to National Medical College Pvt Ltd for payment of value added tax (VAT) till the court settles the case. On June 21, the RCCC had ordered the Inland Revenue Office, Birgunj, to collect Rs 3.7 million rupees from the medical college, alleging that the college had not cleared its VAT for the last five fiscal years. Justice Sharada Prasad Pandit passed the stay order in response to a writ petition filed by Basaruddin Ansari, managing director of the medical college. The court also ordered the RCCC and Birgunj Inland Revenue Office to furnish their respective written replies regarding the order to the medical college.
