Annual Compliance in Sri Lanka
The annual corporate pack — filing the statutory annual return with the Registrar of Companies (base fee Rs 6,000 + VAT) and preparing the audited financial statements to be laid before the AGM. The DRC allows a three-month grace period on the annual return, after which compounding charges apply and persistent default can lead to strike-off. A small private company may qualify for audit exemption, but the exact small-company threshold under the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007 was not confirmed and is checked at quote.
