Your clients' data, handled the way it should be

Tax data is sensitive. LankanTax is built with the controls a Chartered Accountant would expect — and a clear answer for every "where does this go?" question your clients will ask.

🔐

Encrypted in transit & at rest

All client data and uploads are encrypted end-to-end using TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. No exceptions.

🇱🇰

Hosted in-region

Data is stored on infrastructure within the Asia region with strict access controls. No data leaves without your sign-off.

👤

You own the access

Only you and your invited clients can see a return. Granular roles, full audit log of every view, edit, and submission.

📤

Export & delete anytime

Your data is yours. Export every return as PDF, and request full deletion of any client at any time — no questions asked.

⚖️

PDPA-aligned by design

Built ahead of the PDPA substantive provisions activating in 2026. Consent capture, processor disclosure, cross-border transparency — all baked in.

“I used to spend two full weekends every season chasing clients for payslips. Now I send invites on Monday and review completed returns by Friday. It's the most boring kind of magic — and I love it.”
