ABBOTTABAD, July 12: The Nathiagali Hotel Association has asked the government to bring into tax net all private guest houses and rest houses in the area as they are doing business without paying any tax or duty to the government.

The meeting said that local hotels and restaurants were paying huge taxes, including sales tax, income tax, local government and provincial government's levies.
