Tax

Tax in Nepal us huge, I guess It's import tax. I've been told that a new car is subject to 2-300% tax, (and yes, I mean Hundred!).
The taxi driver I had this morning was telling me that he'd never been to India, but that he and people from his village, close to the boarder would often buy bicycles from across the boarder. Being rather unchecked they could get away would it, but to make sure not to get hit up for tax he'd scuff the new bike, drop it on the floor a few times so it looked a but warn and old.
