- Sri Lanka is piloting a national VAT e-invoicing system integrating taxpayers’ ERP systems with the government’s RAMIS platform.
- The system is not yet a full mandatory e-invoicing regime like those in Italy, India, or France.
- The pilot phase involves selected VAT-registered businesses, especially export-oriented ones, with full rollout expected by the end of 2026.
- Garment exporters, tea exporters, and tea manufacturers are already participating, with Colombo Tea Auction processes integrated into RAMIS.
- From May 1, 2026, tea brokers must transmit invoice and related data directly to the tax authority platform.
