(B) When any municipality or other taxing authority imposes a franchise, occupation, business, sales, service, license, excise, privilege or similar tax of any kind on the company, the amounts thereof, insofar as practical, shall be charged on a pro rata basis to all applicable customers receiving gas service from the company within the municipality. This charge, in all cases, will be in addition to the regular charges for gas service. Where such tax is levied on a percentage of gross receipts, from customers or a class of customers, that percentage will be applied to each affected customer’s bill, and the amount so computed will be added to such bill. The amount of the tax charged to each affected customer in each billing period will be shown as a separate item on the customer’s bill and identified as such.
