Finance Committee Instructs Government to Check Double Taxation

  55 sec to read

August 15: The Finance Committee of the House of Representatives has directed the government to immediately revoke double taxation which has come into practice after the implementation of federalism. The Finance Committee issued such directive following widespread protest from the public regarding excessive tax imposed by the provincial and local governments beyond their jurisdiction.

Locals have expressed their dissatisfaction for paying double tax for the same object or service at certain regions.

The committee has ruled that it is against the law to impose double tax on goods and services of similar nature. The committee has also directed the government to revoke the tax imposed within the limits of the law for being excessively high, lawmaker Satya Pahadi told New Business Age.

According to her, the committee has also instructed the Ministry of Finance to study the impacts of the hike in price, which has affected the commoners.

“We have instructed the government to amend the laws and impose taxes only after setting a certain criteria and standard for tax collection,” she said.
