Continuing its legacy of innovation, DPR has relaunched the enhanced tax website with expansion of tax management offerings today, empowering clients with expert guidance and representation in tax-related matters. 

The new service, now accessible through the DPR tax web portal www.taxsrilanka.com, further strengthens the long-standing reputation of DPR as a pioneer in Sri Lanka’s tax management landscape.

In 2005, Sri Lanka’s trailblazing consulting and advisory services provider DPR transformed tax calculations for Sri Lankan individual taxpayers by launching the nation’s first tax website. This groundbreaking initiative, introduced a decade ahead of government measures, set a new standard in online tax computation and e-return filing. 

DPR backs the advisory services with continued efforts to educate clients on tax-related matters launching an SMS Gateway in 2006 to share real-time tax updates with clients.

Delivering innovative and reliable tax solutions for corporates as well as individuals for over 25 years, DPR offers a range of tax management solutions from planning and advisory and now litigation, to ensure greater compliance and reporting of direct and indirect taxes.

The web launching ceremony was attended by prominent figures in Sri Lanka’s tax industry. Former Inland Revenue Department of Sri Lanka Commissioner General D.R.S. Hapuarachchi served as the chief guest, while former Finance Ministry Fiscal Adviser P. Guruge was the guest of honour. Also in attendance were former Finance Ministry Deputy Commissioner General and Tax Adviser Dhammika Gunathilake, former Chartered Institute of Taxation President and Senior Commissioner of Inland Revenue Premeratne Banda and University of Sri Jayewardenepura Postgraduate Institute of Management Senior Faculty Member Dr. Samantha Rathnayake.
