Opposition Leader reveals consequences of new tax scheme!

Date:

The current government is bankrupt in terms of economy as well as ideas, said Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa yesterday (14), addressing the occasion in which a bus was donated to Siddhartha National School in Galle, as the 36th donation of that kind under the ‘Sakwala’ initiative introduced by the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) to improve education of Sri Lankan children.

The new tax imposition by the government, which is rather astonishing, has thrown the people of this country directly into fire and is staggeringly invasive on those who are already oppressed, the Opposition Leader pointed out.

Stressing that tax increment is not the only way to boost the state revenue, Premadasa reminded that dollars held by those disclosed in the ‘Pandora Papers’ should be retrieved.

Struggling shall not be carried out for political gain, but for the education of the children, he added.
