Replace Blanket Tax Exemptions with Targeted Tax Credits.
Businesses in the Port City already enjoy world-class advantages - prime oceanfront land, modern infrastructure, and streamlined access. Yet, they also receive sweeping tax exemptions on corporate and personal income, creating an unfair playing field and draining government revenue.
At a time when ordinary Sri Lankans face higher taxes, inflation, and reduced savings, why should a select few firms be shielded from their fair share of the burden?
Advocata recommends replacing these CIT and PIT exemptions with Tax Credits tied to job creation and capital investment.
Unlike exemptions, tax credits reward performance - companies earn them only when they create jobs or invest real capital.
This ensures incentives are fair, transparent, and fiscally responsible, while driving genuine investment and employment - not privilege.
