This Govt was about to fine your local shop Rs. 1 million for not registering for VAT.
The same Govt that let online casinos pay nothing.
The same Govt where the National Film Corporation collected VAT and didn't remit it.
The same Govt applying a tax that's actually 22%, not the 18% they advertise.
Expanding the tax base is right. But it must be equitable, not a system that squeezes the small trader while the powerful walk free.
We raised it at COPF. We raised it in @ParliamentLK. 95% of public responses said this was wrong.
Today they backed down. The threshold stays at Rs. 60 million. That's not their win. That's yours. 🇱🇰

After the match ended in a tie, India seemed very keen to take it to a Super Over.
At one end was Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the IPL sensation who had won almost every major batting award in this year’s IPL, earned a place in the national squad, and was regarded as one of the heroes of the tournament.
At the other end was Suryansh Shedge, another IPL performer who had impressed with his talent and was India’s best batter in today’s match, scoring 72 runs off 66 balls.
Meanwhile, this young Sri Lankan player is still only 19 years old. Despite having experienced bowlers available, including Mohamed Shiraz, who took three wickets today, our captain and team management placed their trust in this youngster.
Everyone believed he had the courage and composure to handle such pressure.
In the end, even Suryavanshi who has smashed sixes against some of the world’s most celebrated bowlers looked completely helpless against him. The youngster didn’t even allow the two IPL stars to score 10 runs in the Super Over.

A gem that must be protected. 💎
