2 | COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES |
2.1 | (a) The Commissioner General of Inland Revenue has issued an assessment notice to Singer Finance (Lanka) PLC regarding an additional surcharge tax liability for the taxable period from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021. The assessment includes a surcharge tax of Rs. 333.5 million and interest of Rs. 49.7 million, totaling Rs. 383.2 million. |
Following a comprehensive review of the relevant facts and applicable tax legislation, management concluded that there were reasonable grounds to challenge the assessment. Accordingly, the Company submitted a request for an administrative review on 31st December 2024. Subsequent to this review, the Department of Inland Revenue issued its Determination on 19th January 2026. As per the Determination, the surcharge tax was revised to Rs. 300.2 million, with interest of Rs. 166.2 million and a penalty of Rs. 49.4 million, prior to adjusting for payments already made. The Company had previously settled Rs. 53 million in 2022 and Rs. 100.3 million in September 2024. After accounting for these payments, the outstanding amounts were a surcharge tax of Rs. 247.2 million, interest of Rs. 65.9 million, and a penalty of Rs. 49.4 million. | |
Upon careful consideration of the Determination and based on professional advice obtained from tax consultants, management determined that there are sufficient grounds to further contest the position taken by the Department of Inland Revenue. Accordingly, an appeal was filed with the Tax Appeals Commission on 11th February 2026. | |
(b) The Commissioner General of Inland Revenue has issued an assessment notice to Singer Finance (Lanka) PLC regarding an additional Income tax liability for the taxable period from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022. The assessment includes an Income tax of Rs. 22.8 million and interest of Rs. 9.9 million, totaling Rs. 32.7 million. | |
After carefully reviewing the situation and based on the advice of tax consultants, the Company has settled part of the assessed amount, totaling Rs. 16.2 million. The Company is of the view that it has strong grounds to contest the remaining portion of the assessment. Accordingly, the Company lodged an appeal for an administrative review on 12th March 2025. The appeal hearing was held on 17th March 2026, and the Company submitted additional information on 10th April 2026. The matter is yet to be finalized. | |
