August 03, Colombo (LNW): The Inland Revenue Department has announced an extension to the validity of Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) issued to taxpayers, pushing the deadline to November 30.
This development offers taxpayers—whether individuals, partnerships, or corporate entities—additional time to ensure their compliance with evolving digital requirements.
The PIN, a crucial component of the department’s Revenue Administration Management Information System (RAMIS), serves as each taxpayer’s unique gateway to their digital tax profile. Through this system, users are able to access, manage, and file their returns online.
Authorities reiterated that for the 2024/2025 assessment year, filing tax returns online is no longer optional but legally required. This mandate underscores the department’s commitment to streamlining tax compliance and minimising manual processing, while aiming to improve transparency, accuracy, and efficiency in the collection of public revenue.
Officials urged taxpayers not to delay in verifying the status of their PINs and ensuring that their digital credentials are up to date, particularly as the online system is expected to experience higher-than-usual traffic closer to the filing deadlines.
Advisory notices and technical support have been made available to assist those unfamiliar with the RAMIS platform.
