    Hey guys, I'm looking for a Co-Founder (IT, design, marketing or sales oriented) for a new IT company operated from Sri Lanka. We are trying to target international startup companies as clients. I'm a software dev with 10 YoE in Python/JS .

    It will be great for anyone with ambition and trying to reduce recent tax charged directly from local IT salaries.

    Message me for more details if anyone interested.

    No.
    From 2023 onward only individuals earning foreign income are exempted from tax. Companies have to pay 30%
    I got my info from a charted accountant in the field. AFAIK you can calculate the percentage of foreign vs local income and only pay 30% for local income on IT companies.

    At least 5 years IT industry experience is good. Need to be little bit marketing oriented (or willing to learn marketing and sales in future) . Main thing is to see if we an work together to grow a company.

    I have 11-12 years of IT experience, but I don't think I am marketing-oriented for now. 7-8 years of experience in the MSP(UK, USA, Canada and Aus) field, not sure if useful for your idea

    I checked this with inland revenue and they confirmed no tax for foreign income for both corporate and personal

    first, you have to find the first customer, then form a company and find a co-founder with dev experience. if it's a product then different story.
