What this dataset contains

Provisional 2024 figures in thousands of Sri Lankan rupees. Municipal and urban councils are reported as national aggregates. Pradeshiya Sabhas are reported for each province and as a national total. Tables distinguish recurrent and capital revenue, their components, and total receipts.

How it is used here

Compare the total receipts of the three council types or compare Pradeshiya Sabha receipts across provinces. Select individual revenue categories to examine taxes, fees or grants.

What it cannot tell you

This is one provisional year, with no individual-council accounts. Provincial figures cover Pradeshiya Sabhas only. Published totals, subtotals and components overlap and must not be added together. Capital receipts include loans and asset sales, so total receipts are not a measure of recurring fiscal capacity. Missing entries remain blank, and published totals may differ slightly from the sums of their rounded components.
