The government will present the draft of the Inland Revenue Bill, modified according to the Supreme Court ruling, to Parliament during the next parliamentary session, a minister revealed.

Earlier, the Supreme Court determined that the Bill contained provisions which were inconsistent with the Constitution.

State Minister of Finance Eran Wickramaratne told Daily Mirror the government had re-drafted the Bill knocking off the clauses that were deemed to be inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution.(Kelum Bandara)
