වැට් බදු හේතුවෙන්, වැඩිවෙන ඇමතුම් ගාස්තු සහ රූපවාහිනී පහසුකම් ගාස්තු සම්බන්ධයෙන් නොමග යවන සුළු සටහන් පෙළක්!

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says the posts are misleading: the VAT increase was 3%, and call, data and pay-TV bill prices did not rise by the claimed 23% or 42%. It distinguishes that increase from the overall tax rates, which it says became 42% for domestic calls and related services and 23.5% for data, Wi-Fi and international calls.
