State Minister of Finance Ranjith Siyambalapitiya says a circular will be issued next week containing advice in relation to bringing to a halt state and semi-government institutions from paying the PAYE tax.
The State Minister said the PAYE tax has been imposed as a tax to be paid to the government by individuals who earn an income beyond a certain limit, while some state institutions and semi-government institutions have previously been paying the relevant tax.
Furthermore, the State Minister said such measures should be prevented amidst the current economic crisis.
