For Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, effective tax crime investigation is not only about revenue collection, it is about #fairness, #equity, and public #trust.

📢 We're back for Day 2 of the Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 #DPI Summit 2025!

The sectoral workshop on taxation is diving deep into how Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI) can revolutionize taxation by strengthening its three key pillars:

🔹 Identification 🆔 | Establishing trusted digital identities for taxation—Digi-IDs, open registries linking tax IDs to business & property databases, and Single Sign-On (SSO) for seamless tax filing.

🔹 Audit 🔍 | Boosting transparency & fraud detection with real-time e-invoicing, AI-driven anomaly detection, and blockchain-enabled audit trails to ensure accuracy and trust.

🔹 Compliance ✅ | Simplifying tax payments through interoperable payment networks, automated dashboards, and consent-based data sharing, reducing friction for businesses.
