Sri Lanka VAT & SSCL Compliance: Automated Tax Invoicing and Audit-Ready POS Accounting
Navigate Inland Revenue Department (IRD) regulations with automated Value Added Tax (VAT) and Social Security Contribution Levy (SSCL) calculation on every receipt.

Complying with Sri Lankan tax regulations is mandatory for registered businesses. Manually calculating 18% VAT and 2.5% SSCL on complex wholesale and retail invoices consumes valuable cashier time and invites costly bookkeeping penalties during tax audits.
Automated Tax Invoicing with Vexel POS: - **Item-Specific Tax Rules:** Mark specific essentials as tax-exempt (e.g., non-taxable raw agriculture or medicine) while applying full statutory tax to taxable consumer goods. - **Tax-Inclusive vs. Tax-Exclusive Display:** Automatically display shelf prices inclusive of tax to shoppers while breaking down Net Price, SSCL, and VAT clearly at the bottom of the printed thermal receipt. - **Registered Tax Invoices with Buyer TIN:** Generate formal IRD-compliant tax invoices containing the buyer's company name, registered address, and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). - **One-Click IRD Return Reports:** Export monthly sales tax summaries categorized by gross turnover, taxable value, and total tax collected, ready for your chartered accountant to file.
