Education Minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya said that government is planning to add the benefit of Value-added Tax (VAT) and Nation-building Tax (NBT) tax cuts to school uniform vouchers.
He made this observation in Parliament, yesterday, while denying allegations that the value of the school uniform vouchers was lessened.&The VAT and nation-building taxes are included in the value of the vouchers.
Following the tax cuts, we believe that the benefit should go to the students.& Minister Siyambalapitiya said.
