By The government is sending tax offices on wheels (mobile services) to help people open tax files. This is because they want more people to pay taxes, especially since they promised a big chunk of money to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Right now, not enough people pay taxes. The government wanted 1 million new taxpayers this year, but only a few thousand signed up. Why? Because opening a tax file can be a hassle, with lots of paperwork and unfriendly officers.
So, the government is making it easier! The mobile offices will travel around Sri Lanka, and you can open a tax file without leaving your village. Plus, they’re working on making online registration simpler
Remember, everyone who earns more than 10 dollars a day needs to pay taxes. This helps the government build roads, schools, and hospitals. It also helps keep the country strong and healthy.
