Sri Lanka to suspend one off, retrospective taxes: PM

ECONOMYNEXT - Sri Lanka will suspend one-off and retrospective taxes introduced during an interim budget in 2015, Prime Minister Ranil Wicrkramasinghe said.

"One of taxes that was subject to controversy to be suspended, (vivardayater luckwoo, ekwarak pamanak aya karana badoo athhitoowanawar)" he said.
