The 15% VAT imposed on private medical services had been completely removed.

The Inland Revenue Department on Tuesday (12) informed all private hospitals of the decision to remove the 15% VAT previously charged on private hospitals for services offered by them which had been applicable from May 2, 2016.

Accordingly, the 15% VAT imposed on hospital charges, doctors' charges, medical tests and medicines had been completely abolished. (Ranjan Kasthuri)
