VAT Registration

In accordance with the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Act, No. 32 of 2023, effective January 1, 2024, previously exempted VAT items are now subject to liability. Businesses engaging with these items must apply for VAT registration upon surpassing an annual VAT liable turnover of Rs. 60 million or Rs. 15 million per quarter/month (As per the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Act,No.16 of 2024). Consequently, any businesses not on the exempt list should primarily obtain VAT registration when exceeding the specified registration thresholds.
