Important notices
- IMPORTANT: In-line with the With Holding Tax (WHT) circular published by Inland Revenue Department (IRD) on 27 December 2019, interest income earned by “any person” in excess of LKR 250,000 per month will be subject to WHT at the rate of 5%. i.e. interest income over & above the threshold earned by personal customers on any account maintained (including Foreign currency accounts & Children’s savings accounts) with the bank will be subject to 5% WHT.
This circular is applicable from 01 January to 31 March 2020 and interest income credited to an account during a particular month will be considered for WHT threshold.
Given the short lead time available for change implementation and to ensure that our customers are not excessively charged with additional WHT at the point of interest payments, the respective WHT liability will be assessed post month end and will be collected prior to the 15th of the following month, and any excess tax collected will be refunded similarly. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you of our best service at all times. - IMPORTANT: HSBC Credit Card Rewards programme air miles conversion ratio will be changed to 5:1 for HSBC VISA Signature & Advance Platinum Credit Cards. i.e: 5 points will be equal to 1 air mile .
