What the pack carries

Charts of accountsWhat a company installs, and who each chart is published for.: default (default) — 155 accounts, for companies
TaxesHow many the pack carries, at which distinct rates, and which treatments it can express.: 13 taxes at rates of 0, 15, 18, 20.5
domestic, exempt, export, import
Periodic declarationThe form the accounts are read into, the cadences it is filed on, and how many boxes it has.: LK-VAT — 13 boxes, filed month or quarter
When it is dueA rule of the country, not a date. A pack that cannot state its rule states nothing.: the last day of the month after the period
The file it is deposited asThe brick of packages/formats that writes it, where one exists.: filed by hand on the administration’s portal
Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.: no profile — no obligation in law
No Sri Lankan text obliges a business to exchange a structured electronic invoice with another business in the sense Ekwo's vocabulary gives the word — there is no Peppol authority, no published profile and no ISO 6523 scheme a party is addressed by — so `profile`, `party_scheme` and `vat_scheme` are null and `obligation` is `none`. What Sri Lanka has is a reporting system in the course of being built: the National e-Invoicing System announced under the National Budget 2026, whose Web API sends the invoice data of a taxpayer's ERP to RAMIS in real time (Notice SEC/PN/VAT/2026-03 of 4 May 2026). It is a pilot, on the board for export-oriented enterprises as phase 1 and for every VAT-registered person as phase 2, with the full integration expected by the end of 2026, and it transmits the data of Schedules 01, 04 and 07; the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Act No. 14 of 2026 adds the use of secured point-of-sale machines within three months of a date still to be prescribed (Notice SEC/PN/VAT/2026-03 of 3 July 2026, item 9). Neither is in force against every taxpayer at the date of this pack, and neither is a peer-to-peer exchange between two access points. The paper-or-PDF Tax Invoice itself is regulated by Gazette No. 2481/22, postponed to 1 October 2026 by Gazette No. 2500/106 and so in force today. Ekwo does not connect to RAMIS, and the gap is recorded in docs/international.md and in this pack's README.

Free, and operated

Where the open core stops.

The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.

LK-VATdeclaration

Free, for everComputed from the ledger, frozen box by box, filed by hand on the administration’s portal, and what it owes is carried to 2110. The deposit number and the administration’s own words come back into your own database.

OperatedTransmission: the credentials, the certificate and a channel somebody keeps running. The return stays yours.
