此战是否会对最终排名产生决定性影响？
毫无疑问。但随后对阵狼队的比赛又将是一场决赛，每一场都是生死战。 Colombo, Oct 20 (UNI) Amid growing criticism, Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe has justified a hike in income tax for both corporates and individuals, saying it was for the greater good of the country and critical to garner much needed financial support from the international community.
In an address to the nation, the President said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) with which the government has signed a Staff Level Agreement for a $2.9 billion four-year financial support, advised the need for a surplus in Sri Lanka’s primary budget, the Daily FT reported on Thursday.
“It was agreed to since the country needs the support of the IMF,” he was quoted him as saying.
“It was also decided to increase the country’s income from 8.5 per cent to 14.5 per cent of the GDP. However, it is a difficult task to accomplish immediately, it is envisaged to achieve this by 2026.
"Initially, a decision had to be taken on the manner in which the income is to be increased. Money was printed due to the decrease in income. During the past two years, Rs. 2,300 billion has been printed, resulting in inflation rising to 70-75 per cent and even more in respect of food inflation," he said.
Wickremesinghe said these increases need to be controlled, while securing income. Therefore, during the discussions with the IMF a new tax system was proposed. The IMF informed that even the export industries would be required to pay taxes.
The IMF pointed out that in countries with an export economy, the related industries were liable for tax. The IMF also upheld that Sri Lanka’s primary export economy is based on the plantation industry.
During British rule, taxes were charged from every plantation sector, including tea, coconut and rubber. Therefore, if the country has to move towards that goal, taxes will have to be paid. The export sector has now questioned this aspect and the related concerns are to be submitted to the IMF.
Referring to the issue of higher personal income taxation, the President said the majority of tax revenue was through indirect taxation. The majority of the country’s citizens, even those below the poverty line, had no choice but to pay indirect taxes, the President said.
The direct tax revenue was 20 per cent and 80 per cent has been derived from indirect taxes.
The IMF had reservations in this regard and said the amount of tax obtained through direct taxes should exceed 20 per cent. The IMF noted that otherwise this would not be successful and ordinary citizens would need to pay taxes, the President said.
Therefore, the Treasury and the IMF discussed the possibility of limiting the taxation from those who have an income of Rs. 200,000, which did not materialise. Eventually, this resulted in the decision to levy income tax on people earning over 100,000. This has become a vital concern amongst citizens.
But without this tax system, the desired goal will not be achieved. The agreed goal is to achieve 14.5-15 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) revenue by 2026, Wickremesinghe said.
If Sri Lanka withdraws from this programme, IMF assistance will not be received. Without IMF certification, the support of institutions such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and the countries that have supported financially will not be forthcoming. Then, Sri Lanka will be back to the era of queues, he warned.
In his address, Wickremesinghe also said the Government was ready to implement prudent economic management after successful debt restructuring.
He noted that it was not possible to strengthen the economy without increasing the revenue of the country, which will compel him to reluctantly make tough decisions in order to rebuild the nation.
The President pointed out how in November 2019, the country’s taxes were drastically reduced, reducing the government revenue to 8.5 per cent. This was when the IMF set aside the agreements with Colombo and declared that it was unable to provide the agreed assistance.
"That year the government lost approximately Rs. 600-700 billion as revenue. Simultaneously, the country had to face the Covid-19 pandemic. These issues are the main factors that led to the collapse of Sri Lanka’s economy.
"The country at this juncture is facing a difficult period. Expectedly tough decisions have to be taken during these difficult times. I undertook this challenge when no one else was willing to come forward."
UNI MR。
阿斯顿维拉是欧冠资格的有力竞争者，此前他们对阵我的老友路易斯-恩里克执教的巴黎圣日耳曼的表现令我印象深刻。
三 | 他们既能摆出低位防守，又能凭借速度优势和定位球战术制造杀机。
对于我们来说，这场比赛就是一场决赛，我们需要球迷的支持来确保下赛季继续征战欧冠。从开场第一分钟起，我们就需要他们持续用声浪推动球队，我知道我们有时候踢得不好，但我还是迫切希望大家支持我们，这就是一场决赛！
谈奥赖利的表现——
赛季非常漫长，之前他保持每周一赛的节奏，这让他能充分恢复，但我们需要观察他能否像德布劳内、B席、迪亚斯那样适应三天一赛的强度。奥赖利正在适应一个完全陌生的位置，这种精神令我钦佩。
未来是否会固定担任边卫？他仍在学习阶段，但持球能力很出色。如果踢中场，每次传中时他都能出现在点球点附近——他天生具备这种嗅觉，现在我们的定位球难题正因他得到改善。
多库上一轮表现出色，但此前未能首发——
最近几场我（没让他首发）对他很不公平，此前的几场比赛如果没有他根本拿不下来。
四 | 近期没让他首发只是因为战术需要边后卫拉开宽度、中场球员内收。他今天（客战埃弗顿）的冲击力远胜曼市德比（那场表现确实不理想），这次他拿球后有效拉扯防线，多次完成底线突破。多库在进攻三区是不可阻挡的，他的表现让我非常欣慰。
谈格瓦迪奥尔担任中后卫的位置——
我非常欣赏格瓦迪奥尔在他位置的表现，特别是左路组织进攻时展现的纵深冲击力，他与迪亚斯沟通密切，形成了绝佳搭档，现在来看这确实是个可行方案。
五 |
俱乐部不需要再引进中卫，我们现有人员充足，还签下了两名年轻球员。重要的是我们拥有这位能同时胜任中卫和左闸的多面手。
谈效力于维拉的曼城青训球员摩根-罗杰斯——
他当时在曼城二队，有时候会和我们一起训练，我们当时也很看好他，觉得他能够做得很好。
六 | 现在他在维拉有着很重要的作用，是一名多么出色的球员！。
