The Alternatives to Universal Tax Registration in Sri Lanka

Published on 1 February 2023

This note argues that the Sri Lankan government’s recent proposal to implement universal tax registration is neither a viable nor effective strategy to increase the country’s tax revenue.

Instead, the note proposes four alternative measures that are more feasible, while still serving the same purpose of expanding the tax base and
generating more revenue.
