The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) Punjab Chairman Adil Bashir has criticized the distribution companies (DISCOs) for charging General Sales Tax (GST) and Withholding tax (WHT) on notified industrial tariff instead of 7.5 cents/kWh to all consumers falling in five export sectors for the months of March and April.

In a situation, he said, when Prime Minister Imran Khan is looking for the ways and means to support the export industry, the high handedness on the part of Discos is that the difference of GST & WHT on notified industrial tariff and 7.5 cents is being charged from 01-07-2019.
