From today, KEDS will start applying the disconnection tax to consumers who do not pay the debt within the legal term, reports Sinjali.
According to the announcement, delays beyond the predetermined deadlines will also incur additional costs.
“In this context, consumers will also pay a net tax of 15 euros, which, together with VAT, amounts to 17.7 euros, an amount which is foreseen according to the Methodology of Connection Taxes in the Distribution Network, also approved from ERO.
This information will be served to all consumers in the reading bills that will be distributed during this month. The legal deadlines for the payment of those invoices are defined in the reading invoices. Any delay after that date, in regular and uncontested billing processes, means that the customer may be subject to disconnection from the electricity network.” – KEDS announced two weeks ago.
Foreclosures are not linked to a certain amount of debt, but to the specific bill that has a deadline for when it must be paid.
Consequently, it is about a period of time and not about a certain amount of the debt.
