Tax Consultant in Sri Lanka for Individuals and SMEs

Need someone to file your tax return? EzBusiness tax consultants in Colombo prepare your income tax return, claim your reliefs and credits, and file it with the IRD on RAMIS for you. Fixed fees, agreed before we start, and nothing is filed until you approve it.

Who we help

Most of our clients are busy people who want their tax done properly without learning the system themselves.

  • Salaried employees

    One or more employers, APIT deducted from your salary, and bank interest with WHT. We check whether you need to file and claim the tax already paid.

  • Freelancers and remote workers

    Income from clients in Sri Lanka or abroad, paid into local or foreign accounts. We work out what is taxable and what can be deducted.

  • Landlords

    Rental income from a house, apartment or commercial property, with the rent relief and expenses you are entitled to.

  • Sole proprietors and partners

    Business income from a sole proprietorship or partnership, with your business records turned into a complete return.

  • Small companies

    Corporate income tax returns and year-end tax work for SMEs, alongside payroll and secretarial support on the same platform.

What our tax consultants handle for you

One consultant looks after your file from the first document to the filed return.

  • A review of every income source and the reliefs you can claim
  • Your income tax return prepared and checked before you see it
  • Filing with the IRD through RAMIS once you approve it
  • APIT and WHT certificates matched so tax already paid is credited
  • Returns for past years that were not filed on time
  • Guidance on paying any balance and on instalments for next year
  • Help with IRD letters and queries about a return we filed

Why use a tax consultant instead of filing yourself?

You can file your own return on RAMIS, and many people do. The difficulty is rarely the form itself. It is knowing which income has to be declared, which reliefs apply to you, how APIT and WHT credits are claimed, and what to do when the numbers do not match what your employer or bank reported. Mistakes usually cost money in one of two ways: tax overpaid because a relief or credit was missed, or penalties and interest because income was left out or the return was late. A consultant who prepares returns every day spots these quickly. It also saves time. Instead of gathering every rule yourself, you send your documents, answer a few questions, and review a finished return.

Based in Colombo, working across Sri Lanka

Our team is based in Colombo 03, and you can meet us at the office by appointment. Most clients never need to visit: documents come in through WhatsApp, email or the EzBusiness platform, and we talk you through your return by phone. So you can work with us just as easily from Kandy, Galle, Kurunegala or Jaffna, or as a Sri Lankan living abroad.

Tax consultant questions, answered

  • What does a tax consultant do?

    A tax consultant works out what you need to declare, prepares your income tax return, claims the reliefs and credits you are entitled to, and files the return with the IRD. At EzBusiness we also remind you of deadlines and help if the IRD sends a query about a return we filed.

  • Do I need a tax consultant, or can I file on RAMIS myself?

    You can file on RAMIS yourself. A consultant is worth it if you have more than one income source, rental, freelance, business or foreign income, APIT or WHT credits to claim, or past years that were not filed. In those cases mistakes are common and can cost more than the fee.

  • How much does a tax consultant cost in Sri Lanka?

    Our fees for individual returns are fixed and published, and they depend on your types of income, from a nil return up to a return with business income. You see the fee before any work starts. Company tax work is quoted after we look at your accounts.

  • Do you only work with clients in Colombo?

    No. Our team is based in Colombo, but you can send your documents through WhatsApp, email or the EzBusiness platform from anywhere in Sri Lanka or abroad, and we go through your return with you by phone.

  • Can you file returns for years I missed?

    Yes. We review which years are outstanding, prepare those returns and explain what is payable. Late returns can attract penalties and interest, so it is better to deal with them sooner. We cannot promise that any penalty will be reduced or waived.

  • Can you help if I receive a letter from the IRD?

    If the IRD sends a query or notice about a return we filed, send it to us. We help you understand what is being asked and prepare a response. We cannot influence the IRD's decisions.

  • Do you handle tax for small businesses and companies?

    Yes. We prepare returns for sole proprietors and partners, and corporate income tax returns for SMEs. Payroll, APIT and secretarial work can be handled on the same platform.

  • Is my information kept confidential?

    Yes. We use your documents and details only to prepare and file your return and to contact you about it, and we handle them in line with our Privacy Policy.
