Colombo,January 1 (Daily Mirror) - By the end of 2024, the Sri Lanka Customs achieved a record-breaking revenue of over Rs. 1.5 trillion, marking the highest annual revenue in its history.
Customs revenue surpassed the Rs. 1.5 trillion milestone by 11 p.m. on December 31, with projections indicating it would reach Rs. 1.515 trillion by the close of the day.
This remarkable achievement brought Sri Lanka Customs very close to meeting the government's revenue target of Rs. 1.533 trillion for 2024.
The success is attributed to the government's tax policies, increased imports and significant reforms implemented by the Customs administration to streamline the tax collection process. These efforts, coupled with the dedication of the entire Customs staff, were instrumental in achieving this record income.
Sri Lanka Customs extends its gratitude to all taxpayers for fulfilling their tax obligations and contributing to this historic revenue milestone.
The Customs staff also expresses pride in making a substantial contribution to the national economy by successfully nearing the revenue targets set by the government.
