Navigating the complexities of the financial sector requires precision, and MRP Partners is here to provide the expert tax consultancy and business support your institution needs. The IRD has released a payment reminder specifically for VAT on Financial Services (VAT on FS) for the March 2026 period.

Modernizing Your Tax Payments
The IRD encourages taxpayers to utilize the Online Tax Payment Platform (OTPP) for efficiency. Alternatively, payments can be made at any branch of the Bank of Ceylon. It is important to note that the IRD will not reduce or waive penalties for late payments, and the date of cheque realization is strictly monitored.
