Attorney General Mike Beebe says Arkansas
CenterPoint Energy Arkla improperly billed customers for the
state`s new sales tax on natural gas starting in February.
The tax rate on natural gas went from five-point-one-two-five
percent to six percent, but not until March First.
Beebe said Arkla will have to credit bills or issue refunds for
all customers statewide. The customers will not have to do anything
to get their money back.
Beebe said an alert businessman noticed the billing error and
filed a complaint with Beebe`s office. It turned out that every
Arkla customer in the state had the same billing error.
