              A man leaves the Inland Revenue Department in Sri Lanka on December 7, 2024. The IRD extends the deadline for submitting income tax returns for the Year of Assessment 2023/2024 to December 7, 2024. This extension is granted due to severe weather conditions, including heavy rains and floods, which impact many areas and make it difficult for taxpayers and accountants to meet the original deadline of November 30, 2024.
