A spokesperson for the Ministry of Power on Tuesday said that the additional tax included in the commercial electricity bills is the sales tax. The spokesperson, in a statement, clarified that the sales tax had nothing to do with the power tariff. Levying of the sales tax was announced in the recent budget as agreed by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and the business community while the power distribution companies were the collection agents, he said.
