“The latest weapon to be used by the government to increase the tax burden by stealth is the increase of public monopoly tariffs following the removal of a government subsidy. This has been observed with tariff increases of electricity and water last October, the price hike of gas as of April 1 and the soon-to-be introduced drainage tariff.”
