Official metered tuk tuks in Colombo do not technically have any legal surcharge for standard tourist luggage. If your bags fit comfortably inside the back cabin with you the metered fare remains exactly the same.

However in deeply rural towns if your suitcases are so massively large that the driver has to physically physically strap them to the external metal back rack using bungee cords it requires significant physical labor.

In those specific cases it is highly customary and deeply polite to simply offer an extra 100 to 200 Rupees for their effort but they should absolutely never completely double the entire agreed upon fare.
