44The Cabinet of Ministers last week approved tax relief for dates imported as donations or gifts for free distribution during the upcoming Ramadan fasting season, which will be observed from 19 February to 21 March.
The decision applies to dates brought into the country by diplomatic missions, organisations, and individuals, provided the imports are made without the use of foreign exchange.
The proposal to this effect was submitted by Buddhism, Religious and Cultural Affairs Minister Prof. Hiniduma Sunil Senevi.
