JO vows to take VAT to SC again

The Joint Opposition today said that it would go to Supreme Court for the second time against the Government’s attempts to introduce the revised VAT, since the Gazette notification on the revision had been printed way before the Cabinet Approval was granted. MP Bandula Gunawardane, addressing a news conference said the Gazette notice had been printed on September 9 though the Cabinet of Ministers didn’t approve the VAT Bill till September 13.
