Nalaka Godahewa: Tax targets

Abstract

FALSE: […] The expected tax income for 2023 is Rs 3,130 billion [a 70% increase from 2022]. It is not something practical. Since the tax net is not functioning properly, the tax burden will fall on the same people who paid taxes in 2022. What has actually happened is that the income the taxpayers have to spend for their needs has reduced by 70%. Nalaka Godahewa, Aruna, 10 October 2023
