Every tax payer to get SMS on tax update under NPP government: Anura Kumara
Colombo, August 24 (Daily Mirror)- A National People's Power (NPP) government will collect reasonable tax in a transparent manner and every tax payer will be informed of the taxes paid and how it is utilised by the end of every year through an SMS, NPP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today.
Speaking at a rally in Balangoda, he said this system will be introduced within two to three years after taking over the government.
"After two to three years time, we will send an SMS to the mobile phone of the tax payers at the end of every year, giving them an update on the amount of taxes paid by him or her and how the tax money was utilised such as on education, health road development etc. Then, tax payers will know how the tax money paid by them are spent," he said.
Dissanayake said people and businessmen like to pay taxes and that they do not like the tax money being looted.
"When a tax is paid, people must receive its benefits in return. We will collect a reasonable tax in a transparent manner," he said.

NPP is planning for SL what is done in developed countries to keep the taxpayers informed. The many crony and corrupt businesses and individuals must be fuming, as their illegal practices and money making will be drastically affected. NPP wants to implement a fair tax policy where high income earners pay more tax. Overall tax revenue target - 15% of GDP in line with IMF. Sadly, some childish comments here don’t appear to understand basics. LOL.

Tissa Fernando Sunday, 25 August 2024 06:55 PM
Developed countries don't do that. But they share Government Revenue vs Government Expenditure which are subject to audit by the government Audit chief. Sending a SMS is a useless idea. Instead you can publish government Revenue and expenditure details in the government information Web portal for anyone to see. AKD is saying that their party has no plans on how yo revive this country.

How can one get detailed reports such as how SMS utilizes tax? Also, I am not very sure how secure to share tax information through SMS as it tells someone's wealth. In recent TV interviews, Handunetige tried to justify not having their policies on the net and promoting a booklet. Also the huge cost. All these guys talk a lot about technology, without knowing the basics. Please use information technology, which is technology nowadays, to communicate with people.

your honesty and integrity and hard working ethics are enough to take this country forward. Above all, your inclusive politics is good for this country and you can take this country forward with such approach. You have a good team of people around the country. and you have been telling us to use the potentials and talents of our civil service. Talented civil service people must have freedom to work without political influence : All must pay tax but if they are rich enough. No one should avoid tax All must rich must pay tax and tax reform must be done. without good tax no country can survive Tax policy of NPP must be explained tax must be fair to all sides.

Their way forward is; (i) Collecting 500 US $ each from Sri Lankan's who have migrated or abroad. (ii) Printing money (SL) resulting in inflation (iii) Sell whatever available (iv) Take over all the Fixed deposits of Sri Lankans. (v) Money that swindled to be made legal for using for government expenses. (vi) Devolution of Judicial power to carders with dispute resolution councils, like in 1988-90. (vii) Allowing loans for public without any guarantor so that the depositors will have no money in their accounts. What a way indeed!

The main issue is how much tax rate will be enforced under NPP government. NPP has so far promised to reduce VAT, fuel and electricity prices and disburse Rs 10,000 per month for low income persons. To fund these measures, income tax rates may have to increase to 50% or more. If not NPP will start printing money like GR did and causing US$ rate to go up to Rs 500 or 600. Why is NPP hiding its income tax plan?

They have no plans. They just say things to incite voters into voting gor them. They will do what they have experience in , I.e. disruption and destruction. Their cadres will go from house to house in search of money , valuables and other goods. They might even occupy your house free saying that every person is only entitled to have one small space to live. That is how they will work. Good luck to all these stupid voters for next 25 to 30 years as there won't be any fair election thereafter.

Most of the people in SL don’t pay taxes. The only way they pay taxes is sales tax. How is the government going to know how much each person paid? This is all talk. I can’t believe you people fall for this type of trash. I believe the NPP will definitely be less corrupt than the others. However these guys have NO what the hell they are taking abt. These guys have not run a tea shop, and live on welfare. The only thing they know to do really well is strike. If they are so worried abt tax payers the fist thing they would do is to stop proving government servants to strike for every small thing. And you people belive they know how to run a government. As the saying goes - people get leaders they deserve.

For clarity to people who made negative comments. NPP has said that they will reduce the VAT for education, medical and food related, the cost of which will be bridged by collecting the unpaid taxes from liquor factory owners and other shrewd businessman with strong ties with the government who have not paid their taxes. These amounts runs into billions of rupees. Further, they can contain costs of maintaining our ex presidents and widows. These amounts are huge. Don't worry NPP government wont have to print money, to put this country on the right path. What we need is the dedication and no hidden agenda. Listen to one of Anura Kumara's full speech. The taxes he is referring to in this article is PAYE and Corporate taxes. Of course people and businessmen like to pay taxes and see how tax money is being used. In developed countries like UK, end of the tax year, the tax payer gets a notice to say how his/her/company taxes were used by the government. This is an excellent proposal.

Dear Saman, Let's assume NPP will successfully recover all unpaid liquor duties and taxes from shrewd tax payers within first few months. However to fund VAT exemptions, reduce fuel and electricity prices and give Rs 10,000 free hand-outs NPP will need 50 times more money than it would recover (from unpaid liquor duties and taxes). Also when the fuel and electricity prices are reduced we could expect tremendous increase in consumption of these items. When the government runs out of funds, only option they have is to print more and more money. Also when the fuel and electricity consumption go up governemnt need more $ to import oil and LNG. All these will results in an economic disaster which could be many times more than what we have seen 2 years ago.

Oh, I thought under the NPP rule, income taxes will be brought down to zero! Consumption tax will be no more than 5%. Further, I was expecting the NPP government to reduce lending rates to near zero percent with no loan collateral requirement and the minimum fixed deposit rate to increase to 30%. Moreover, I was envisaging that NPP will take from the rich and give to poor, so that destitute people like us will not be required to work at all. Likewise, I had high hopes that under NPP's rule there will be import substitution and all good and services will be produced by the government. So that foreigners will not grab our national assets. I had high hopes that all essential goods and services will be provided almost free of charge to the people!!!

Tissa Fernando Sunday, 25 August 2024 03:37 AM
It is going to be zero as people will end up with 0 income as they will provide free meals cooked by their contractors, they will ban kitchens in individual homes for this purpose. You will eat one vegetable and rice. But 2 times a day. That is what people are saying going to happen. In this case no need to do any work because you get free meals, all what is needed is to wear the red t shirt and attend their rallies.

It’s not surprising SL is bankrupt. Some of the comments here shows the level of thinking of some. Don’t like anything new that is progressive. The SMS is about how the tax money is utilised during a financial year. Eg, Defence 10%, health 4%, education 4%, loan repayments 15% etc. Also, there are many untruths being written which do not have a basis. This is not the only digital information system proposed, there are many more and they will take 2-3 years to implement. Don’t forget this is a bankrupt economy, which some of you want the same people who caused it to rule again. LOL
