National Treasury will not be expanding the solar PV tax incentive for households to include batteries and inverters, members of Parliament heard.

Treasury officials on Wednesday briefed the Standing Committee on Finance on its responses to some of the proposals made by the public for various tax matters, among them being the solar PV tax incentive.
