Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

The Commissioner-General may for the purpose of any recovery of tax in default under this Act, by notice issued in that behalf require any person to furnish such information within such period as shall be specified in such notice, and it shall be duty of such person to furnish the information requested for within the period so specified. Where however the person is unable for whatever reasons to furnish the information requested for, it shall be his duty to forthwith inform the Commissioner-General of those reasons.
