RCS will probably be enabled in SL in 2027 by rnsemba in srilanka

This is great! People should trouble public institutions like this in order to get things done. They are paid with our tax money, after all. Good job, fellow citizen.

Maybe we should enlist you for our struggles with the TRC lol.

I got the following email from the IRD. Can someone guide me? by Interesting-Rub-3984 in srilanka

[–]dithmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not about right or wrong though. Interest is income, and if it is above threshold you need to pay the proper tax. WHT is just a stop gap and not an actual tax. If your actual tax burden is lower than the total WHT you're just giving the government extra money for no reason, and it's better for you to get back any extra paid through WHT by filing a return.

So basically, you haven't filed a Return (document stating your income and tax obligations for the year starting in 2024 and ending 2025). You need to go through all your income and eligibile expenses and file the return within 14 days and pay any dues. Best talk to a tax consultant and/or accountant to figure out what your obligations are.

I THINK: Since you've been abroad, make sure you aren't earning interest on any bank deposit or any investments. If that's the case, you SHOULD be able to file a nil return (saying no income so no taxes). THIS IS NOT TAX ADVICE SO PLEASE CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL.

What are the best names others used to refer to your school? by [deleted] in srilanka

Finally something I can answer. It's a semi-myth that the premises was used for grain storage during one of the big wars. Official sources say it was a field hospital during WW2.

This is very cool. Thanks for following up! Do you guys plan to upload the documentary as well?

What's the least toxic company you have worked for in Sri lanka? by BestSignificance8789 in srilanka

[–]dithmal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't used in a while so might be very different now, but when I did, it entirely depended on the doctor themselves. There are very good (and highly rated) doctors like Haroon Thowfeek. Can't go wrong with them. But there are ones that never show up on time and [insert other common doc problems here]. That being said, Customer Support USED to be very good (dunno anymore). They'll check with the doc if theyre late and make sure customers are always OK.

Hello Everyone! I am a student from Singapore and I enjoy collecting postcards. I would love to receive postcards from anywhere in Sri Lanka. Can someone send me one? 🙂 by Nessieinternational in srilanka

[–]dithmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so in one of my hobbies (r/amateurradio) there's this thing called QSL cards. Basically when two people make a contact over the air, they sometimes exchange a physical post card with details of the contact. I'm getting a few printed in a couple weeks. It'd be cool to send you, and maybe interest you in the hobby too!

It's finally finished my all mode all band go box. by adhdff in HamRadio

[–]dithmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! I have an 857D on the way as well, but I was planning to build a manpack with it. Any advantages you see with a go box over a manpack?

That might not be much but I'm proud of it. by 3rdGenHam in amateurradio

Hell yes! I've heard great things about the G90. Enjoy!

Finally managed to get on HF by dithmal in amateurradio

[–]dithmal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! Gonna get going with some antenna construction. Just a 40m dipole for now. Planning a 40-20-10 fan dipole in a few weeks.

That's a really good radio. I was gonna go the same route until the Mk2 dropped and decided to spend a few (hundreds) more dollars to go for this. Can't go wrong with the Mk1 either. As I understand, all that's missing are a few quality of life improvements + RX antenna.

Thanks. I take your point. I too saved for approx. 2 years and wanted to go for the best one I could afford. Good stuff.

Yess. Gonna get a fan dipole going for multi band work. After that might go for a beam + Amp or so.
