The Hon. R.M. Ranjith Madduma Bandara
R.M. Ranjith Madduma Bandara disputed the Prime Minister’s claim that his statement was false, citing page 103 of the Government’s policy statement. He argued that the document’s reference to reducing VAT to one point on items such as infant milk, medicines, school supplies, agricultural equipment and solar panels indicates that VAT is included in the policy.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Prime Minister said what I stated was false. But on page 103 of your policy statement, it clearly says that VAT will be brought to one point for items such as infant milk, medicines, school books and supplies, library services, agricultural equipment, and solar panels. That means there is VAT in your policy document.
