The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) said it has collected over Rs. 2 trillion as of 17 November, the highest annual revenue in its history. The tally exceeds the full-year figure for 2024 by over Rs. 60 billion, according to a statement issued yesterday.
The Department said crossing the Rs. 2 trillion mark within 11 months strengthens the State’s fiscal position. Commissioner General Rukdevi P.H. Fernando thanked taxpayers for meeting their obligations and acknowledged the role of public and private sector institutions in reaching the milestone.
