Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Parliamentarian Dr.
Harsha de Silva mentions that offered the present circumstance, importing vehicles presents a substantial danger to Sri Lankas economy.The MP made this declaration throughout the 2nd reading argument on the 2025 Appropriation Bill in the Parliament today (18 ).
The MP even more commented: I had another huge imagine purchasing a Japanese bike.
Someone stated a Vitz might be purchased for Rs.
1.4 million.
I looked up and saw that the Toyota Raize is Rs.
12 million, the Yaris is Rs.
18.5 million, and the Prius is Rs.
28.9 million.
A big issue has been created here.Yesterday, the President stated that most of the tax income is because of the import of motor vehicles.
I looked into this.
Taxes must increase by about 1.6% of the gdp (GDP).
About half of that comes from lorry imports.
So, lorry imports are exceptionally risky since who will import automobiles at such escalating prices.
I dont think there are individuals in Sri Lanka rich enough to manage importing such automobiles, he included.
