• Reinforces its role in shaping a robust taxation framework

In a significant move underscoring its commitment to national fiscal stability and economic growth, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) formally presented its strategic proposals for the forthcoming National Budget 2026 to the government.

The proposal was made to Finance Ministry Secretary Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma, further solidifying the institute’s position as the national body of accountants as well as an influential professional body and a key partner in national policy formulation.

The delegation was led by CA Sri Lanka President Heshana Kuruppu, together with the members of the council. 

This proactive submission is a cornerstone of CA Sri Lanka’s ongoing mission to contribute its technical expertise and practical insights towards establishing a fair, efficient and growth-oriented taxation framework for the country.

In addition to the budget proposals, CA Sri Lanka also presented the findings of its comprehensive Tax Perception Survey to Dr. Suriyapperuma. The survey provides invaluable, data-driven insights into the perspectives of Chartered Accountants on the current tax system, offering a critical evidence base for future reforms and improvements.

Kuruppu said that as the national body of accountants, CA Sri Lanka has a profound responsibility to actively contribute to the economic dialogue of the country. 

“Our proposals for National Budget 2026 are not merely recommendations but they are the culmination of rigorous research and expert analysis from our members who are at the forefront of the economy. We believe that implementing these measures will be pivotal in enhancing revenue collection, ensuring equity, fostering a conducive environment for investment and ultimately driving sustainable economic growth for all Sri Lankans,” he said.
