Finance Ministry warns public of false claims on issuance of duty-free vehicle permits to expats
The public has been warned of false claims that the Ministry of Finance is issuing permits for Sri Lankan expatriate workers to purchase vehicles under tax concessions.
Issuing a statement, the Finance Ministry stated that a fake letter under the letterhead of its Trade and Investment Policy Department, and the name of the Department’s Director-General has been circulating on social media platforms such as Facebook.
"The Finance Ministry has not implemented a scheme to provide permits in order to purchase vehicles under duty concessions," the statement emphasized.
The Finance Ministry urged the public to remain cautious of fraudsters while noting that a fee would not be charged for issuing permits. Any information on the government's tax concession schemes could be viewed on www.treasury.gov.lk.
