Pak-Iran gas pipeline project: IHC bars govt from collecting taxISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court has barred the government from receiving Gas Infrastructure Development Tax meant for collecting funds for Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project, Geo News reported Thursday.
IHC judge Justice Shaukat Siddiqui issued the orders over applications filed by commercial consumers and owners of CNG stations.
The government had been receiving surcharge of Rs 10 to 100 under Infrastructure act 2011.
The court ruled that some clauses of the act were prima facie unconstitutional; therefore surcharge could not be received.
