    මචන්ලා,

    කව්රුහරි දන්නවාද අපේ හදිසි විශාල ගනයේ මුදල් ඉපයීම් සදාහා අපි කොච්චර බදු ගෙවන්න ඕනැද කියලා.
    ex - වාහන විකිණීම්, වතුපිටි විකිණීම්, ගෙවල් විකිණීම්, etc.

    But what if I deposited it to my bank a/c ?

    according to this chart current rate of withholding tax on interest is 2.50% (provided your assessable income for a year is more than Rs. 500,000)

    "
    If any interest is paid or credited to an individual for any year of assessment (period of 12 months commencing from April 1) and such individual makes in writing a declaration (format annexed) to the respective branch of the Bank or Financial Institution certifying that:

    His/her assessable income ( ie total income excluding exempt income) for that Year of Assessment does not exceed Rs. 500,000, then tax deduction should not be made from such interest for that Year of Assessment;

    His/her assessable income for that Year of Assessment exceeds Rs. 500,000 but does not exceed Rs. 1,500,000, then tax should be deducted at 2.5% from such interest for that Year of Assessment; or

    If the assessable income of any individual is more than Rs. 1,500,000/=, then tax deduction should be made at 8% (irrespective of whether a declaration is made or not)"
