Youth Organization Launches Nationwide Signature Campaign Against VAT on Electricity Bills

Kathmandu. The National Ujyalo Youth Front Nepal, a youth organization supported by Kulman Ghising-led Ujyalo Nepal Party, has launched a nationwide signature campaign against the government's decision to impose value-added tax (VAT) on electricity bills for general consumers.

The organization has launched the campaign citing that the Nepal Electricity Authority has not collected the outstanding amount from industries and businesses for dedicated and trunk lines, and has imposed VAT that will affect the general public.
