I became a member of Sri Lanka Friendship Association Kansai. I joined because I wanted to be connected to Sri Lanka, as I had no activities, although I say to be doing something about Sri Lanka.

We also hold exhibitions of Sri Lankan products. However, most of them are tea. There are foodstuffs, miscellaneous goods, clothing, etc. other than tea, but I couldn’t find any. There must be many wonderful things in Sri Lanka, but it is difficult to find them and import them.

Today I attended its regular meeting. There was a deep discussion about the future management of the association. It is the same everywhere how to make the association more lively.

It occurred to me that Yoshimoto K.K. could import Sri Lankan products and promote them in Japan. I remembered the words of a consultant working in Sri Lanka. She said it was a pity that there were no souvenir stores in Sri Lanka. She said she wished a company that operates souvenir stores would come to Sri Lanka. I have only stayed in Colombo, but I am sure there are many good things in the local areas. It would be wonderful if we could bring them all together in the center of Colombo, since travelers always stop in Colombo at the end of their trip.

I attended the regular meeting while dreaming of such a thing.

Now today, I would like to talk about Qualified Invoice Q15: In case of inheritance.

If there is an inheritance before October 1, 2023, the registration of the decedent will become invalid. The heirs will have to submit a new application for registration, which will take effect on October 1, 2023, if submitted by September 30, 2023.

If the inheritance occurs on or after October 1, 2023, the heirs will have four months from the date of inheritance to submit an application for registration. This is the same as the deadline for submitting a quasi-final tax return.

For more information, please refer to the attached.
