The prices of fast-moving locally manufactured liquor products of Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka (DCSL) have been reportedly increased between Rs. 30 to 40 from midnight yesterday.
According to retailers, the company had revised the prices following the amendment to the Nation Building Tax (NBT) on alcohol products, in addition to existing taxes.
According to Inland Revenue Department website, the NBT exemption applicable on sale of liquor by the importer himself, was removed and made liable with effect from April 01, 2018.
Also, the exemption applicable to the imports of liquor and the turnover from the business of manufacture of liquor was removed and made liable to NBT.
The implementation of changes to the NBT was passed in Parliament on July 18. (TK)

NBT was meaningful when MR's regime in power, because the Nation was really BUILT. So, you can change the name of tax right now to suit the term meaningful as NNBT (Nation Never-Building Tax).

Oh god! Now we will have to drink Kassipu only!

The government should greatly increase taxes on imported liqueurs, which would only affect the rich. The tax on locally produced liqueur should be lowered considerably.

john frazer Thursday, 09 August 2018 11:19 AM

The price hiking trend is so bad because of two major reasons. One is people may go for illicit liquor which gives long term health hazards. Second one is very serious, people specially youth may choose other narcotics which gives health and social hazards too. Alcohol is comparatively safer than others. I have seen in the countries where alcohol is banned, almost all young crowd is addicted to drugs.
