Taxation and Income Tax Policy

Public debate about taxation policies affecting individuals and pensioners in Sri Lanka. Concerns raised about the fairness of imposing higher tax rates on specific population segments.

Pushing pensioners into a 36% tax bracket is wild—nothing says "we value your years of service" like taxing them so hard they have to choose between medicine and electricity. Might as well just ask them to sell a kidney at this point, at least that's a one-time transaction.
