According to the draft law on Colombo Port City Economic Commission, those employed at the special economic zone will only be remunerated in a designated foreign currency, other than in Sri Lankan rupee (LKR).
The draft legislation said foreign currency remuneration applies to those authorized persons (both, resident and non-resident) permitted to engage in business in and from the area of authority of the Colombo Port City.
Furthermore, any employment income of a resident employee will be exempt from income tax, and would be allowed to credit the funds to a personal foreign currency account. Exempted from income tax is also income of non-resident employees.
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other written law, such non-resident employees shall not be liable to income tax in Sri Lanka on any income earned outside Sri Lanka,” the draft law stated.

Aha. So Port City is NOT part of Sri Lanka if Sri Lankan Inland Revenue legislation does not apply. Does China hold the title deeds?
