What you spend is for you.. everyone gets taxed accordingly based on their spending..so that’s only fair.Mokakda scene eka? Umbata kiyala tiyena eka terum ganna amarui wage scene ekakda? If so not my issue ban.
Not sure what your question is. Anyway I have been doing a SL job for 10 years and payed payee tax from day one. Now I have shifted to another job which pays me in foreign currency. In addition to that I spend close to 300-400k LKR a month. So I probably contribute way above the average citizen.
And yes I am a graduate from a SL university and I am bringing in foreign currency in to the country. So I am not your typical antharey asshole you might picture me to be![]()

Do you like to work your ass off just to make sure a group of donkeys will have a easy life? And even better allow them to decide the direction of the country?What you spend is for you.. everyone gets taxed accordingly based on their spending..so that’s only fair.
But you’re ready to bolt when they start to tax at decent rates?
Ona huthak kiyapan ban. Not my problem that you cannot be me. I know you probably are crying in a corner. What to do. Life is not always fair.මං පොර ජාතකේ යන යන තැන![]()

Who are the group of donkeys? If you are getting a $ salary in SL, you’re probably paying peanuts or nothing at all as tax.Do you like to work your ass off just to make sure a group of donkeys will have a easy life? And even better allow them to decide the direction of the country?
End of the day it is my choice right? If a person had a choice between either staying and bolting tell me what they would pick.
Putha, Go and check the amount of government workers we have. That work force keeps getting loaded by every party that comes in to power. And the only contribution they are expected to give back to this country is to make sure they and their families to vote for the people who appointed them. (recently added around 100k kids without even a proper job scope and get padi 20+k a month.) From where does the money come from to pay these people? <--- That is why I call them donkeys. And yes they live off the people who pay taxes.Who are the group of donkeys? If you are getting a $ salary in SL, you’re probably paying peanuts or nothing at all as tax.
Are you complaining about the VAT? Not sure why you feel other people are living off you
Yes, it’s your choice, but I wouldn’t have quoted if you weren’t so critical about others on this topic.
Tax mostly in the form of VAT which everyone has to pay - rich, poor or freeloader. But agree about the number of useless govt jobs.Putha, Go and check the amount of government workers we have.

Again I don't mind paying taxes if it is fair and I intend not to pay it if it is wasted and shit like what I have told above.

See now you seem to agree with my point to some extent. It is not fare to tax a set of people just because they decided to do better than the rest.Tax mostly in the form of VAT which everyone has to pay - rich, poor or freeloader. But agree about the number of useless govt jobs.
Also people, especially in the higher income bands aren’t taxed here properly and that’s part of the problem as well.
Poor taxation + Welfare doesn’t go down well.
No that’s part of the problem. They need to be taxed at higher rates.See now you seem to agree with my point to some extent. It is not fare to tax a set of people just because they decided to do better than the rest.
