Tax defaulters to be netted back
Amendments to the tax amnesty granted to big defaulters of GST and other indirect levies will be introduced in Parliament next month, Treasury Secretary Dr. P. B. Jayasundara said.

He said amendments have been already sent to the Legal Draftsman. According to Dr. Jayasundara tax amnesties are usually granted in terms of direct taxes and the amnesty on indirect taxation is unusual and a huge loss for the country. The tax amnesty was granted under the former UNP regime when K.N. Choksy was the Finance Minister.
