CA Sri Lanka to felicitate tax chief

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) with its Faculty of Taxation will felicitate newly appointed Commissioner General of the Department of Inland Revenue Ms. Kalyani Dahanayake. Chartered accountants, tax professionals and senior officers of the department will be present. Felicitating a new Inland Revenue Commissioner General is a customary practice of CA Sri Lanka, in its capacity as the national accounting body, as it works closely with the Inland Revenue Department. CA Sri Lanka and the Department works jointly to enhance and improve the taxation structure.

Ms. Dahanayake assumed duties in March as the 22nd Commissioner General and is one of the most senior officers of the Department and is the fifth woman Commissioner General to be appointed. She commands over 33 years of service in the department, having joined the department in 1981 as an assessor.

The CA Sri Lanka Faculty of Taxation was set up in 1995 to assist members, particularly those in practice to further their knowledge in taxation and to share constructive suggestions towards the enhancement and implementation of tax legislation.
