Colombo (News 1st); The government continues to maintain that a scam did not take place when importing sugar to the country, Chairman of the Committee on Public Finance Anura Priyadarshana Yapa told reporters on Wednesday (17).
“The import tax on multiple commodities including sugar was reduced to 25 cents in October 2020, and it remains unchanged because the government wants a considerable period to reduce prices,” he said.
If the tax which was reduced to 25 cents was increased to Rs. 50/- within a short period, then one can assume a scam had taken place, however, that is not the case, said Anura Priyadarshana Yapa.
