1/ I’m ready to make unpopular decisions for the nation's sake. If we abolish PAYE, we’ll lose 100bn rupees. If we raise the tax limit to 200,000 rupees, we’ll lose 63bn rupees. All told, 163bn rupees will be lost. At present, the economy cannot afford this loss of income. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite obstacles, I'll continue with the reforms. If we work in a united & planned manner, we can be a developed country by 2048. True freedom can be achieved, & our collective responsibility is to build a new country where our children can compete with the rest of the world. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Sri Lanka relies heavily on indirect taxes. In 2021, direct taxes accounted for 21% of tax revenue, while indirect taxes were 79%. I’ll rectify this disparity. Measures are taken to protect the vulnerable & ensure welfare programs aren’t abused by higher-income earners. — PolitiTweet.org
