MP Harsha de Silva Calls for Urgent Taxation of Online Casinos

Date:

SJB MP Dr. Harsha de Silva has criticized the government for failing to impose casino fees and taxes, despite multiple appeals.

He highlighted that Sri Lanka currently lacks a dedicated casino regulatory authority, preventing the taxation and regulation of online casinos, which operate untaxed across the country.

“Online casinos are everywhere. They don’t pay even a cent in taxes,” Dr. de Silva stated, urging the government to at least introduce interim taxation measures until a comprehensive regulatory framework is established.
