Sri Lanka is planning to simplify its tax system and remove additional Customs levies from 2027, aiming to streamline the taxation framework and improve efficiency. The country is also facing challenges with Iranian oil tankers stranded off its coast due to US sanctions, while the Sri Lankan Rupee has appreciated slightly against the US Dollar. Additionally, Sri Lanka is dealing with delays in issuing driving licenses and has not reached an agreement with Sinopec for a major oil refinery project.
