    No interest in the forum?

    1.45 p.m. Stock market has come a laughing stock under the previous regime. And the super rich stop market barons followed a pump and dump policy leading to the deterioration of the stock market, Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake said.

    I was going to mention about this. Even Ranil said there will be action few days back. Watching the live coverage. There will be some impact on the market if actions is taken. However can not say its a bad move.

    What interested me so far was the 15% for FDs for senior citizens for deposits up to Rs1mn. If more can break and deposit from what I know. He said commercial banks not sure whether applies to finance companies. Good to have a joint FD with parents or FDs under their name. There will be an interest rate mismatch for banks.

    This could be to balance the loss revenue on reduced prices on essential items.

    I presume this tax will affect portion of dividend declare for ordinary shareholders? Is there any correlation between  ASI on negative territory today and the budget proposals? .

    Next step is to get this mini budget passed in the parliament? Opposition (majority) will vote for the reduction of prices of essential items, when it comes to corporate taxes (hopefully) there will be some debate as to implementation. So the road will not not end here.

    Only the tax is reduced. So no impact on the company performance in terms of GP margin.

    But there will be an effect on TKYO by super tax.

    Yes yaka,

    too much for telecommunication.

    ජංගම දුරකතන සමාගම් සඳහා එක්වරක් පමණක් රුපියල් මිලියන 250ක බද්දක්

    සැටලයිට් රූපවාහිනී හිමිකරුවන් සඳහා මිලියන 1000 ක බද්දක්

    and any company making profit more than 200mil will carged 25% tax

    25% tax must payed by company for reloads

    Is this is a punishment for telecommunication for blocking sirasa and some other channels when MY3 was there and sms campain for mahinda.
