                    [Summary] => Customers of power retailer Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) will pay an additional 60 centavos per kilowatt-hour (kwh) once the expanded value-added tax (EVAT) law takes effect on Nov. 1.


Motorists, meanwhile, will pay P1 to P3 more per liter of petroleum and households will pay at least P3 more per kilo of cooking gas also because of the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the EVAT’s legality.
