Sri Lanka New unit scheme by Inland Revenue Department

Date: 9th March 2024

The Inland Revenue Department of Sri Lanka has established a 'High Net Worth Individuals Unit' (HWIU).

To ensure tax compliance of the high net worth individuals.

The unit is said to have been launched as part of efforts to restore integrity and confidence in the country's tax administration.

This has given the world more resources to focus on high-income and high-wealth individuals,

Ensuring they do their fair share and pay the right amount of taxes.

Also, as a preliminary measure, the concerned unit will contact a selected number of wealthy individuals

and ensure that they file their tax returns along with them and their advisors.

Meanwhile, apart from helping to identify and avoid errors or omissions in their initial filings,

The IRD is said to conduct additional risk assessments and profiles of wealthy taxpayers to conduct audits in high-risk cases.
