The Government has removed the consolidated Tax of Rs.36/- per kilogram of imported wheat flour and replaced it with the Special Commodity Levy (SCL) of Rs.8/- per kg.
The Finance Ministry also noted that with the introduction of SCL of Rs 8/- per KG of wheat flour, traders can import wheat flour directly to sell them at a competitive price.
This Special Commodity Levy will come into effect from December 14th through a special Gazette notification issued by Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Minister of Finance, Economy and Policy Development.
