    To please the masses the government bring down the cost in many items and also abolish certain taxes and later impose those more heavily. This is the stance and the work of the uneducated who only think about their purse at the expense of the poor countrymen. via DM Android App

    This is not the only tax investors in the Stock Exchange face. There's also a withholding tax on dividends earned and for foreign investors, there's a double whammy. They also face crippling charges and arbitrary exchange rates on their foreign currency.

    I have invested nearly half million ruppees my overseas hard earned money which I should have bought hoppers for dogs. Though I am a citzen Cents I earned as dividends also withheld beacuse I cannot prove I staying in SL. I dealt with overseas Exchages and never had a single problem.Whole CSE is a mess and dont ever get involved unless u have black money. Full of speculators not investors. via DM Android App
