Taxes cannot be increased at the requirement of the IMF – Wasantha

Date:

Wasantha Samarasinghe, the former Member of Parliament of the Janata Vimukthi Peramuna, emphasizes that the new Tax Act, which subjects the employees of government, semi-government and private institutions to taxes, should be changed immediately.

He said that according to this tax system, the company employees will have to hand over their salary to the government again.

He said that according to the economic crisis in the country, what should be done at the moment is not to collect taxes from the people, but to give relief to the people.

Wasantha Samarasinghe said this while addressing a press conference held yesterday (12).
