How TaxWise works

Four steps.
We do the heavy lifting.

1Income

Every rupee you earned, found for you.

Upload a bank statement and snap your certificates. TaxWise reads them and sorts each line, so you check rather than type.

TaxWise does
  • Reads your T-10, interest certificates and invoices
  • A statement agent sorts every bank line: salary, client payments, interest, transfers
  • Converts foreign income at the CBSL rate
You do: upload, then review what it found.

Every relief you’re owed, applied.

Plain yes-or-no questions instead of forms. Each one shows the rupees it saves before you answer.

TaxWise does
  • Applies the Rs 1,800,000 personal relief and rent upkeep automatically
  • Asks about solar, charity and the costs of earning your income
  • Flags anything the IRD wouldn’t accept, like large cash payments
You do: answer a few questions.
3Tax

Your tax, worked out where you can see it.

The 2025/2026 slabs from the tax engine, with every step shown. No black box, and a what-if for your next decision.

TaxWise does
  • Runs the 6% to 36% slabs on what’s left after reliefs
  • Keeps capital gains and foreign income in their own lanes
  • Shows the math and simulates raises, side work and reliefs
You do: nothing. Just look.

One number, and a pack ready to file.

Tax already taken by your employer, bank and clients comes off. What’s left is to pay, or a refund to claim.

TaxWise does
  • Credits APIT, AIT, WHT and any instalments you paid
  • Builds your schedules and statement of assets
  • Maps every figure to its cage on the IRD e-Filing portal
You do: submit on the IRD portal, with the guide open beside you.
Plain words

We translate the IRD for you.

Jargon only appears when you ask for it. Tap any term in the app and you get one sentence you can understand.

APIT

Tax your employer already took from each salary. It comes back to you as a credit.

AIT

The 10% your bank kept from your interest. Also a credit against your tax.

WHT

Tax a client held back before paying you. You've already paid it.

T-10

The certificate from your employer showing your salary and APIT for the year.

Personal relief

The first Rs 1,800,000 of your income that nobody pays tax on.

Final tax

Fully settled when you were paid, like dividends. It just passes by the ribbon.

SET

If you're self-employed, your estimate of the year's tax, paid in four instalments.

Y/A

Year of Assessment: 1 April to 31 March. 2025/2026 ended on 31 March 2026.

Your tax year

The whole year, on one line.

No surprise deadlines. TaxWise only reminds you about the dates that apply to your income.

What changed this year

The rules moved on 1 April 2025. Your ribbon already knows.

Every rate comes from a versioned copy of the Inland Revenue (Amendment) Act. When the law changes, every receipt updates and shows you why.

Every line on your receipt can explain itself.

Cited to the Act

Tap any number to see the rule it came from and the section of the law behind it. The AI assistant can query the engine, but it never invents a figure.

Kept in one region

Encrypted at rest and in transit, stored in AWS Singapore. Never sold, never used to train outside AI models. Export or delete it any time.
