Built for Sri Lankan individuals, not enterprises

Tax filing that respects your time.

15 minutes on your phone, in Sinhala or English. Your CA still does the lodgement — we just stop the WhatsApp ping-pong, the screenshotted payslips, and the re-typing into Excel. Free for individuals.

Why filers choose LankanTax

Six reasons it's actually different.

Not a chatbot, not an AI tax bot, not a replacement for your accountant. A clean handover between you and the human who knows your finances.

15 minutes, not a Saturday

Pick your income types, upload payslips and certificates, answer a few questions. Save and resume any time on any device.

🇱🇰

Sinhala or English, your call

Every form, every field, every help tip is bilingual. Switch languages mid-form — your data stays exactly where it is.

📱

Phone-first, not phone-friendly

Built for the phone in your pocket. Camera-upload payslips, tap-through forms, no zooming, no pinching, no desktop-only fields.

💰

Free for individuals

Rs. 0 to LankanTax. You only pay your CA their professional fee — the same one you've always paid, directly to them.

👥

Your CA stays your CA

You're not switching accountants. Invite your existing CA, or pick one from our directory. They review and lodge, the way they always have.

🔒

Encrypted & PDPA-compliant

Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, visible only to you and the CA you invite. We don't sell it, profile it, or train AI on it.

A closer look

Every feature designed around one painful season.

November to March, the tax filing window. Here’s what we built specifically for those four months.

Every income type Sri Lankan filers actually have.

  • Multiple employers, multiple FDs, multiple rentals — all handled.
  • Foreign income with USD/EUR/GBP/AUD conversion at IRD rates.
  • Auto-calculation of tax bands, reliefs, and APIT credits.
Salary (Employer 1)Rs. 1,840,000

Sinhala and English, equally first-class.

Most "Sinhala" tax tools translate the homepage and call it a day. We translated every form label, every help tip, every error message. Your mother can use this. So can your accountant.

  • Switch languages without losing what you've already entered.
  • Tax terminology matches IRD's official Sinhala vocabulary.
  • Help tooltips explain "what is APIT?" in plain language, both ways.

Three updates. No nagging.

You hear from us at three precise moments — when your CA opens your file, when they start reviewing, and when your return is lodged. Nothing in between. No daily reminders, no marketing emails.

  • Notifications by email, SMS, or both — you choose.
  • A PDF copy of your filed return arrives the moment it's lodged.
  • If something's blocking lodgement, you're told once — clearly.

Documents organised, not scattered.

Snap a photo of your payslip. Forward your FD certificate from your bank's email. Upload last year's return. We keep it organised under your file so your CA isn't hunting through WhatsApp for that one screenshot.

  • Camera capture with auto-crop and brightness correction.
  • Email-in: forward bank statements directly to your file.
  • Year-over-year history when your CA invites you back next season.
