As Sri Lanka’s tax environment continues to evolve, taxpayers and businesses increasingly need quick access to legislation, regulatory updates, tax calculations, filing guidance and professional advice. LankaTAX is bringing these services together through a single digital platform that combines Sri Lankan tax research, AI-powered assistance, tax calculators, compliance resources and access to tax advisers and consultants.
LankaTAX is designed around a simple taxpayer journey: Ask, Clarify, Calculate, Prepare, Get Assistance and File. The concept connects information discovery with practical tax tools and professional assistance, allowing users to move from an initial tax question towards calculation, preparation and, where necessary, consultation with a tax professional.
Tax Research Meets AI
At the heart of the platform is the LankaTAX AI Assistant, which provides an interactive way to explore Sri Lankan tax-related information. Users can ask questions and then refer to relevant tax regulations, legislation and official guidance.
The platform brings together a range of tax resources, including Tax Acts and amendments, Government Gazettes, Tax Circulars, Public Rulings, tax forms, tax schedules, Treasury publications and Customs tariff information.
This creates a central research environment for individuals, businesses, accountants, tax professionals and others who regularly need to locate and interpret Sri Lankan tax information.
Turning Tax Rules Into Calculations
Research is only one part of the tax-compliance process. Once a taxpayer understands the applicable rules, the next question is often: How much tax will I have to pay?
LankaTAX addresses this through a growing collection of tax calculators covering areas such as Individual Income Tax, PAYE/APIT, Tax Credits, Terminal Benefits, Company Tax, Partnership Tax, WHT, VAT, Stamp Duty and Betting Tax for the 2025/26 Year of Assessment.
The calculators provide users with a practical way to translate tax rules into estimated financial obligations before proceeding with the relevant compliance process.
From Calculation to Tax Preparation
LankaTAX also provides access to tax forms, returns and practical filing guides.
Its resources cover areas including individual and corporate taxation, partnership taxation, VAT, Stamp Duty and Capital Gains Tax, helping users locate the documentation and procedural information required during the preparation stage.
The result is a connected workflow rather than a collection of separate tax resources:
ASK → CLARIFY → CALCULATE → PREPARE → ASSIST → FILE
Tax Advisers as Part of the Digital Tax Journey
A key element of the LankaTAX proposition is the inclusion of tax advisers and professional consultants.
Through its Tax Consultant Directory, LankaTAX provides users with access to tax consultants, accountants and professional advisory firms. The directory is intended to help taxpayers identify professional assistance when their circumstances require advice beyond general information or automated calculations.

This is particularly relevant for complex tax matters where the correct approach depends on the taxpayer’s individual or corporate circumstances.
The platform therefore combines two complementary elements: digital self-service and professional expertise.
A taxpayer can begin by asking an AI-powered question, research the relevant provisions, estimate the tax liability and prepare the necessary information — and then seek assistance from a tax adviser where professional judgement is required.
A Digital Ecosystem for Taxpayers and Businesses
The combination of AI, structured tax information, calculators, filing resources and professional advisers gives LankaTAX a broader proposition than a conventional tax information website.
For individual taxpayers, it can provide a starting point for understanding income-tax obligations, calculating potential liabilities and finding filing information.
For businesses, the platform provides resources relating to corporate taxation, WHT, VAT, Customs and other areas of tax compliance.
For accountants and tax professionals, its collection of legislation, circulars, rulings, forms and calculators can provide a consolidated digital research environment.
Making Sri Lankan Tax Information More Accessible
Sri Lanka’s tax system requires taxpayers to navigate legislation, amendments, Gazettes, administrative circulars, tax schedules, forms and filing procedures. Keeping track of these different sources can be challenging.
LankaTAX’s approach is to bring these resources together and place them alongside AI assistance and calculation tools, while providing a pathway to professional tax advisers.
The broader objective is therefore straightforward: make it easier to move from a tax question to an informed tax decision.
From Question to Compliance
LankaTAX’s six-stage model captures this proposition:
ASK — Ask a tax question through LankaTAX AI.
CLARIFY — Check the latest applicable tax regulations.
CALCULATE — Estimate the potential tax liability.
PREPARE — Find forms, guides and official tax information.
ASSIST — Connect with tax advisers and consultants when professional assistance is required.
FILE — Follow the relevant guidance towards tax-return submission.
By combining these functions, LankaTAX is positioning itself as a digital gateway to Sri Lanka’s tax ecosystem, bringing together tax research, AI assistance, calculations, compliance resources and professional tax advisers in one platform.
