04Common questions

Tax filing questions answered.

Who needs to file a personal income tax return in Sri Lanka?

Any individual earning over LKR 1,800,000 per year (for YA 2025-26) from employment, business, rental, or investment income is required to register and file with the IRD. Employees whose PAYE has been fully deducted may still need to file a return to claim refunds or declare additional income.

What is the personal income tax filing deadline in Sri Lanka?

Personal income tax returns for a given Year of Assessment (April–March) are generally due by November 30 of the following year. For example, YA 2025-26 (April 2025–March 2026) returns are due by November 30, 2026.

What are the current personal income tax rates in Sri Lanka?

For YA 2025-26: personal relief is LKR 1,800,000. Above that threshold, the first LKR 1,000,000 is taxed at 6%, then 18%, 24%, 30%, and 36% for the highest bracket. The 12% band was eliminated for this assessment year.

Do I need to register for VAT in Sri Lanka?

Yes, if your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT registration threshold (LKR 80,000,000 per year or LKR 20,000,000 per quarter). Once registered, you must file monthly VAT returns with the IRD.

How long does personal tax filing take?

For straightforward employment income cases, we typically complete and submit within 3–5 business days of receiving your documents. More complex cases (multiple income sources, business income, overseas income) may take up to 10 business days.
