The prices of all types of mobile phones and accessories would go up again soon after the introduction of the Social Security Contribution Tax, All Ceylon Communication Owners’ Association (ACCOA) said.
ACCOA further stated that the tax was imposed on major importers whose annual income is more than Rs. 10 million.
Perera said that, the government announced the Social Security Contribution Tax at 2%, but when the product reaches the customer, it will be nearly 5%. As a result, the prices of mobile phones and accessories will definitely go up again.(NewsNow)
