The Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) has issued a directive to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to ensure a uniform tax treatment on net metering electricity bills across Pakistan, as reported by Profit by Pakistan Today on February 11, 2026. This decision comes in response to a complaint highlighting inconsistent taxation practices, where K-Electric was allegedly charging taxes on the gross billed amount, unlike other distribution companies (DISCOs) which applied different methods. The FTO's order followed a remand from the President of Pakistan, emphasizing that the issue was not about determining tax liability but rather addressing the inconsistent implementation practices across various jurisdictions. The FBR has been tasked with resolving this matter at the policy and administrative level, ensuring that any clarifications or instructions are uniformly communicated and implemented by all field formations to prevent further consumer grievances.
