    What is "Effective Vat"? how did you calculate the effective rate of VAT? Doesn't make sense.

    I recalculated the percentages using one of my old tax invoices. Your figurers are correct. The increase in NBT is due it's being added after applying the telecommunication levy.

    https://www.dialog.lk/tax

    (they still haven't updated their page though)

    Yes, that's right. This is a huge increase and still it is doubtful whether this will be implemented or not.

    However, Dialog has already started charging new rates from their prepaid connections.

    I still have an issue with your table in the first page. I think you have considered NBT twice
    1. as NBT 2.08%
    2. as other government levy 2.08%.

    As far as I know there can only be
    01. Telecommunication Levy
    02. NBT
    03. VAT.

    Please correct me if I am wrong.
