Part II

117. Rectification of mistakes

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

When a notice of a tax assessment or other document served by the Commissioner-General under this Act contains a mistake that is apparent from the record and the mistake does not involve a dispute as to the interpretation of the law or facts of the case, the

Commissioner-General may, for the purposes of rectifying the mistake, amend the assessment or other document any time before the expiry of four years from the date of service of the notice of the tax assessment or other document.
