KATHMANDU: An interactive map published in the Irish Times, apparently based on the data collected by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) for the Panama Papers leak, suggested that there are seven people from Nepal who are shareholders in offshore firms, and linked to the possible tax evasion. The ICIJ’s offshore leaks database had listed a handful of Nepalis, and two offshore entities — Nepal Pacific Group Inc. www.pacific-nepal.com (Mukunda Bhakta Shrestha) and World Distribution Nepal Pvt. Ltd http://www.wdn.com.np (Bishwa Dhar Tuladhar) that apparently bore connection with Nepali nationals. The individuals — Bijendra Joshi, Bijesh Kumar Todi Agrawal, Bimal Kazi Tamrakar, Binu Shrestha, Bishwa Barsingh Thapa, Bishwa Dhar Tuladhar, Dr. Shyam Bahadur Karmacharya, Harish Kumar Todi, Professor Shatendra Kumar Gupta, Rajendra Kumar Kabra, Reenuka Pradhan, Rekha Kabra and Shashi Kant Agarwal,Khusbu Sarkar Shrestha, Shyam Milan Shrestha — were identified as “officers and master clients” of the offshore companies. ICIJ has defined officer as a person or company who plays a role in an offshore entity, which is a company, trust or fund created in a low-tax, offshore jurisdiction. Master client, on the other hand, means an intermediary or go-between who helps a client set up an offshore entity. https://offshoreleaks.icij.org...

These people are stupid. Why they need to go to hide money offshore?? Pay prachanda some fee and he will do within country.

According to the law they should all be prosecuted. Let's see if they have the balls to do it.

अहिलेसम्म नो जातिवादी कमेन्ट? Here you go... सप्पै बाहुनहरूले सम्पत्ति नेपालमै लुकायो र बच्यो, ***हरू बढि बाठो भएर अफ्सोरमा लुकायो, अब नराम्रो फस्यो, :)

i was not surprised by the marwari names in panama papers. talk with someone in finance ministry or doing some business in ktm andd they ll start talking about how the marwaris are draining out nepal and the capital within by investing everything they earn here in foreign lands ;with legal or illegal means. basically we are just made to consumers who has on other option than to buy their products and give the hard earned remittance cash to them which is then moved out of country.
