Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Member. We are following a clear program. So far, nothing indicates it will fail. The July simulation will confirm functionality. If issues emerge, we can resolve them within the short window. If an unforeseen situation arises that we cannot resolve, we will take appropriate decisions. For now, we must proceed towards a well-ordered tax system. The core aim of today’s Bill is integrated revenue management, fiscal discipline, and improved efficiency and administration in domestic revenue — moving forward step by step from where we are.
