Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz has urged Finance Minister Miftah Ismail to withdraw the power bill sales tax.

She took to Twitter and urged the finance minister to ‘withdraw tax on electricity bills’. “Businesspersons are complaining this step of the federal government is adding to their problems,” she tweed.

مفتاح بھائی @MiftahIsmail بجلی کے بِل پر ٹیکس واپس لیں، تاجر بھائی پریشان ہیں اور شکوہ کر رہے ہیں۔ امید ہے آپ کوئی حل نکالیں گے۔

She expressed hope that the federal minister find a way to get the problem fixed 

The traders have been raising concerns about sales tax on electricity bills, saying business activities were already affected due to an increase in production charges of different items and commodities.
