First batch of bills with emergency property tax sent

Some 400,000 electricity bills that include the first instalment of the emergency property tax have been sent out to customers, the Public Power Corporation said on Friday.

PPC is due to send out another 300,000 bills next week. Customers will have up to 40 days to pay.

The government has ordered PPC to cut off electricity to anyone who does not pay the tax, which ranges between 0.50 and 20 euros per square meter of their property.
