Kathmandu. Prime Minister Balen Shah has said that it has been decided not to implement the 3 percent tax imposed on the health and education sectors. On Tuesday, through social media, Prime Minister Shah said that if the 3 percent equalization fee imposed on the private education and health sector is implemented in the current situation, the common people will have to face additional expenses and disappointment.
