President Anura Kumara Dissanayake today (08) emphasised the critical need to strengthen and digitalise the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) to achieve Sri Lanka’s strategic digital economy objectives by 2030.
The President made these remarks during a discussion held this afternoon at the Presidential Secretariat with representatives from the Inland Revenue Department, the Ministry of Digital Economy and the Ministry of Finance.
During the meeting, particular attention was paid to the ongoing operation and local procurement process of the IRD’s existing Revenue Administration Management Information System (RAMIS), the President’s Media Division (PMD) said.
Discussions also focused on identifying current shortcomings within the RAMIS system and providing appropriate technological solutions. President Disanayake underscored that digitalisation is absolutely essential for efficient tax administration.
