Karachi (HRNW) With residents of the port city yet to get over the shock of the power bill for their first major summer month, they will now have to fork out extra money when paying their bill on account of an additional tax, the municipality utility charges.
Imposed on the pattern of the television licence fee, which is charged from every household utilizing electrical power, the municipal utility charges and taxes (MUCT) have been imposed by the Karachi Municipal Corporation (KMC) and will be charged every month.
The charges have been imposed after the Sindh government issued a notification on April 12, allowing the power utility, K-Electric to collect MUCT on behalf of KMC.
The notification, issued by Sindh Local Government Secretary Najam Ahmed Shah, cites a decision taken by the Sindh Cabinet in its meeting on September 23, 2021, when it decided that a joint strategy will be followed to collect MUCT.
