We're reducing taxes as competitively as possible
We have straightforward methods to calculate exactly what we'll need over five years, with precision on a yearly or monthly basis
So we don't need to collect more taxes than necessary
When we collect relatively modest taxes while meeting our obligations, it frees the private sector to grow
The government cannot create personal income for individuals
People need to earn income for themselves
Sri Lanka has not yet experienced a golden era; I believe it can with us
We're proposing competitive rates: 7% for MNCs, which can have multiplier effects, 12% for SMEs to encourage ownership, 20% for big businesses, and 35% for SLWF
This refers to a specific type of monopoly that receives allocated funding
We apply a 20% surcharge to activities in "harmful areas" so we can cover remediation and related costs
Such as contamination of the water supply, plastic pollution, or other environmental and public health risks
