A business delegation from Japan expressed concern on Monday to Sri Lanka's finance minister, Mangala Samaraweera over the country's frequent changes to its tax policy.
The delegation requested that at least six months notice was given ahead of any enforcement of new tax changes, warning that such amendments had an impact on exports and would discourage investors.
The concerns were expressed at a meeting with Mr Samaraweera on Monday, Colombo Page reported. Japan's ambassador to Sri Lanka, Kenichi Suganuma was also present.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
