Taxes in IESCO online Bill

Here are the details of various taxes included in an IESCO electricity bill in a easy to understand way:

Electricity Duty (ED)

This is charged at a rate of 1.5% on the total variable charges.
Variable charges refer to the cost of the actual electricity consumed as per the applicable tariff rates.
To calculate ED, we take 1.5% of the variable charges amount. For example, if variable charges are Rs. 1000, then ED would be Rs. 1000 * 1.5% = Rs. 15.

Television Fee

A fixed fee of Rs. 35 is charged from domestic consumers for each television set.
Commercial consumers are charged Rs. 60 per television set.
If a household has 2 TVs, the fee would be Rs. 35 * 2 = Rs. 70

General Sales Tax (GST)

GST is charged at 17% on the sum of variable charges, ED and Financing Cost Surcharge.
To calculate GST, we add variable charges, ED and FCS and multiply the total by 17%.
For example, if the above amounts are Rs. 1000, Rs. 15, Rs. 5, then GST would be (1000 + 15 + 5) * 17% = Rs. 171

Income Tax

Levied on commercial and domestic consumers using over 1000 units in a billing period.
The rate depends on slab rates applicable as per government tax rules.

Sales Tax

• Applicable only for commercial and industrial connections.
• Rate depends on the nature of commercial activity as per sales tax regulations.

Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA)

• Reflects month-to-month change in fuel prices paid by power generating companies.
• Shown as charge/credit per unit consumed. For example, Rs. 1/unit in one month and -Rs. 0.50/unit in another.

Quarterly Tariff Adjustment

• Rs. 1.65/unit for domestic users if consumption exceeds 300 units in 3 months.
• Applied on total units consumed by commercial users each quarter.

Tariff Rationalization Surcharge

• For industry, acts as subsidy/charge depending on NEPRA approved difference between WAPDA tariff and actual cost.

Financing Cost Surcharge

• 0.43 paisa/unit to collect revenue for power utilities to repay loans and debts.

Deferred Amount

• Under dispute, like court cases, shown separately until matter is resolved.
