LAHORE: DJ Butt has been served notice of Rs17 million tax on services according to media reports. Mr Butt denies having received any such notice.

Mr Butt told Dawn he had heard about it but not received anything from the Revenue Authority.

DJ Butt had on Monday asked his party, the PTI, to clear his dues amounting to Rs140m, out of which he had only received Rs52.9m.

According to the media reports, the Punjab government on Tuesday moved to recover tax on his service which he rendered during the 126-day sit-in by the PTI last year, where he provided acoustics and generators to power the entire gala.
