Arutha's Executive Director, Yolani Fernando speaking to The Morning, commented on new collection strategies to strengthen tax compliance.
Fernando stated that measures involving greater physical involvement of the IRD, including on-site checks, could help address the prevailing perception that non-compliance carried no consequences. She added that such visibility could contribute to improving overall compliance if implemented carefully.
“It’s good that it is carried out as a pilot project at present, since it allows room for adjustments based on practical challenges and outcomes. Certain earlier efforts such as mass registration for personal income tax have largely been ineffective although resource intensive, especially given the IRD’s staffing constraints. Instead, registration based on professional categories has been more targeted and effective. So the current approach could be deemed as somewhat of a continuation of it,” she said.
