 The government is planning to do away with the tax imposed on foreigners when buying land in Sri Lanka, through the proposed amendments to Finance Act, the United National Party (UNP) alleged yesterday.Addressing the media in Colombo, UNP Parliamentarian and economist, Dr. Harsha de Silva, alleged the legislation will be presented to Parliament next week and accordingly, the 100% tax imposed on foreigners when buying lands here, will be removed once the amendment receives the nod of Parliament.
He also said the amendment will contradict the government’s earlier claim to ban selling lands to foreigners, altogether: “This will not only allow foreigners to buy lands here, but also removes the tax imposed on them, compelling them to buy more lands in Sri Lanka.” Dr. de Silva demanded a clarification from the government explaining the reasons to remove the tax.
