The Majlis has passed a law stating that 25% of the value added tax on the electricity bills should go for promoting the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (Satba), director general of parliamentary affairs of the Energy Ministry said.
“It is allocated to Satba to guarantee the purchase of power from non-state renewable electricity producers, especially those in deprived and rural areas,” IRNA quoted Davoud Kamkar as saying.
Revenue for Satba from implementation of the new VAT law by the end of the current year (March 2021) is estimated at $25 million, he added.
