- Sri Lanka is implementing a phased electronic invoicing reform to modernize VAT administration, starting with a pilot and aiming for full rollout by 2027.
- The reform is built on the existing RAMIS platform, using API integration to connect business ERP systems for secure, electronic invoice transmission.
- The rollout consists of three phases: targeted expansion to export-oriented businesses, extension to all VAT-registered taxpayers, and finally, mandatory real-time e-invoicing for business-to-consumer transactions via POS systems.
- The initiative supports broader national goals to digitize public systems and advance the digital economy, prioritizing system integration, taxpayer readiness, and operational stability.
