I MPOSITION OF INCOME TAX Charging section: Section 2 of the Income Tax act No 10 of 2006, specifies that income tax is charged at specified rates for every year of assessment on the profits and income of every person: -Wherever arising in the case of person resident in Sri Lanka, and -Arising in or derived from Sri Lanka, in the case of a person not resident in Sri Lanka

I NTERPRETATION OF T AXING S TATUTE “ In a taxing act one has to look merely at what is clearly said” There is no room for any intendment. There is no equity about a tax. There is no presumption as to a tax. Nothing is to be read in or implied. One can only look fairly at the language used. In the case of Cape Brandy Syndicate V IR “no subject can be taxed unless the crown can find a clearly charging section and once that is found the subject cannot escape taxation unless he can find a clearly exempting section.”

S COPE OF I NCOME T AX 1. There should be a taxable person. 2. The tax must be for a year of assessment. 3. There should be appropriate rates “specified”. 4. Tax has to be imposed on profits and income. Who is a taxable person (section 17) An individual, local or public authority, body corporate or collegiate, any fraternity, fellowship, association, society whether incorporated or not. Also include a receiver, trustee, executor, liquidator or agent. Partnership businesses also included as a taxable entity under section 78.

R ESIDENCE STATUS -In the case of an individual he/she should be physically present in Sri Lanka for more than 6 months (183 days) or more in a tax year.(section 79(2)) -Where an individual is deemed to be resident for 2 or more consecutive years of assessment, then he is deemed resident until such time as he is absent from Sri Lanka for an unbroken period of 365 days. (section 79(3)) -In case of a company its registered in Sri Lanka or principle office is in Sri Lanka, or its control and management is exercised in Sri Lanka.
