Despite accusations that the government is levying taxes, what the government is doing is not levying taxes but managing taxes, says Deputy Minister of Agriculture Namal Karunaratne. He said this while participating in the budget debate in Parliament today.
“The government is accused of levying taxes. We do not levy taxes. We are only managing taxes. We are now collecting taxes from those who have not paid taxes. We have presented a budget that can give hope to all the people of this country,” he said.
