New Sri Lankan Transfer Pricing Disclosure Requirements


Following the release of Gazette Extraordinary No 1960/39 and Gazette Extraordinary No 1960/42 on 31 March 2016, the transfer pricing disclosure requirements for the Income Tax Return have been increased for certain taxpayers for the YA 2015/2016.

Any taxpayer that carries out international transactions or categories of international transactions with associated undertakings, whose aggregate value is rupees one hundred million or more in the year of assessment as recorded in the financial statements, must submit with the Income Tax Return:

  • Disclosures by the Director/Principal Officer/Precedent Partner (including the Transfer Pricing Disclosure Form)
  • A Certificate of the Director/Principal Officer/Precedent Partner on Transfer Pricing
  • A Certificate of the Approved Accountant.

For taxpayers not exceeding this threshold, these disclosures and certificates are not required; however transfer pricing documentation may still be required for such taxpayers.

Action required

If your company exceeds the rupees one hundred million threshold:

  • Please inform us as soon as convenient, so that we can assist you to comply with these requirements (we expect that this will take additional time in the first year)
  • Please confirm whether you will be preparing transfer pricing documentation for all of your international transactions for this year of assessment, by the time you lodge the Income Tax Return.
