Water PNG to push for corporatisation

WPNG Board Chairman, William Sweet, says with corporatisation comes tax which they currently do not pay.

Currently WPNG only pays revenue to the Government in the form of dividends.

“With that (corporatisation) comes a lot of taxation that we weren’t used to paying because we were a statutory authority. So now we will be very much in line with what the government requirements,” said Sweet.
