⚠️ Broker commission was reduced by 10% effective Jestha 1, 2081 BS by SEBON. The 0.015% SEBON fee is separate from the commission. These rates are for equity shares; mutual funds and bonds have different structures.
Understanding WACC for NEPSE Investors
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) in NEPSE context means the average price you effectively paid for each share, including all buy-side charges. It's critical for two reasons:
- CGT calculation — When you sell, CGT is calculated on profit = Sell Price − WACC. An inaccurate WACC means you either overpay or underpay tax.
- MeroShare compliance — NRB mandates that investors update their WACC in MeroShare's "My Purchase Source" section for correct CGT calculation by CDS.
- Bonus shares reduce WACC — When you receive bonus shares, your total cost stays the same but kitta increases. This lowers your WACC automatically.
- Right shares at face value — Right shares are bought at Rs 100 (face value). The cost of right shares adds to your total cost pool.
Frequently Asked Questions
From Jestha 2081, SEBON reduced broker commissions by 10%. Current rates: 0.36% for ≤Rs 50K; 0.33% for Rs 50K–5L; 0.31% for Rs 5L–20L; 0.27% for Rs 20L–1Cr; 0.24% above Rs 1 Crore. Plus 0.015% SEBON fee and Rs 25 DP charge per transaction.
Yes. When you sell bonus shares, CGT applies on profit = Sell Price − WACC. Since bonus shares come free, they lower your WACC below your original buy price. The profit on selling bonus shares is typically larger in percentage terms. The same 7.5%/5% rates apply based on holding period.
Adjusted LTP = LTP × 100 ÷ (100 + Bonus%). For example, if LTP = Rs 400 and bonus is 20%, adjusted price = 400 × 100 ÷ 120 = Rs 333.33. Your total portfolio value stays the same on ex-date — you just hold more shares at a lower price each.
Break-even price is the minimum sell price at which you neither profit nor lose after all charges (buy broker commission + DP + SEBON + sell charges + CGT). This is always higher than your buy price. This tool calculates it exactly so you never sell below break-even accidentally.
Both rates exist depending on holding period. For individual investors: 7.5% on profit if shares held less than 365 days (short-term), and 5% if held 365 days or more (long-term). Institutions pay 10% flat. CGT applies only on profits, not on the total transaction amount.
