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.
