IRD requires submission of Annual Income Report before Nov 30

Date:

Colombo (LNW): The current Inland Revenue Law necessitates the submission of the annual income report for the assessment year 2022/2023 (from April 01, 2022, to March 31, 2023) to the department by November 30, officials from the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) said.

Non-compliance will result in a fine of Rs. 50,000 and 5 per cent of the tax payable for individuals maintaining tax files without meeting the deadline.

This information was communicated during a workshop held in Parliament on Monday, organised by the Sectoral Oversight Committee on Alleviating the Impact of the Economic Crisis. The workshop focused on the completion of the annual income report and online submissions to the IRD, with contributions from departmental resources.

Chaired by Committee Chair MP Gamini Waleboda, the workshop was attended by state ministers, MPs, and parliamentary officials. The IRD was represented by Senior Commissioner Sujeewa Senadheera, Senior Deputy Commissioner Nandana Kumara, and Senior Deputy Commissioner M.H.D. Meneripitiya.

The workshop aimed to raise awareness about the provision of income reports under the current income tax law and the consequences of non-compliance.

Practical demonstrations were provided on completing the income report through the IRD’s website and submitting it online to the department’s computer system.

MPs engaged with the officials, seeking clarifications on potential issues arising during the report submission process.
