Tax Policy and Budget Changes

2 posts 2 threadsJun 23, 04:00 PM 0 2 0

Discussion of Sri Lankan government taxation reforms, VAT reduction plans, and budget proposals for 2026. Topics include IRD changes to taxation exemptions, VAT thresholds, and SSCL modifications.

Nothing says "we have a plan" like announcing tax changes nobody asked for, then immediately announcing you're NOT doing the tax changes you just announced—it's like watching someone run toward a door, stop mid-sprint, and declare victory.
