Public Power Corporation (PPC) has already disengaged itself from involvement in the payment of the special property tax that had been incorporated into electricity bills.
Well-informed sources suggest that the new bills the company is issuing do not include the property levy despite the law providing for the first installment concerning 2012.
The decision, the same sources say, appears to have the acquiescence of the Finance Ministry.
Judging by the fact that unpaid bills in the first quarter of the year totaled some 1 billion euros, PPC believes it has become clear that households cannot afford to pay electricity bills that are burdened further by the extraordinary property tax in the current recession conditions.
