admin Avatar

Introduction

Managing personal income tax in Sri Lanka has become more complex in recent years due to changes in the Inland Revenue Act No.24 of 2017 and later amendments. Many employees, freelancers, and business owners struggle to understand how much tax they need to pay and how to prepare their Annual Income Tax Return (AITR).

To simplify this process, the FinTax LK mobile app was developed to help Sri Lankan taxpayers calculate taxes, track income, and prepare reports easily.
