Are your telecom taxes right, or are you paying way too much? In almost
every instance when telecommunications
billing is reviewed by a corporate department, be it the IT department, or
Accounts Payable, the taxes and fees portion of the billing is completely
ignored because they are assumed to be correct. After all, these are local tax,
state tax and federal tax charges, and they are certainly correct, right? Wrong.
There are over 55,000
taxing jurisdictions in the United States, all trying to get their piece of the
pie, and your telecom billing is part of that pie. These taxes and fees make up
a significant portion of the billing amount that you pay every month, typically
nine to fourteen percent, but with the boom in wireless communications, new
ways of taxing wireless services have proliferated and, in some areas, have
reached a previously unheard-of 40% of the bill total.
Telecom providers
generate the billing which includes the 911, USF, Access Charges, and industry
specific associated state, local taxes, and fees that you receive. There
is lot of billing fees for them to keep track of regarding taxation, but they
aren’t the only people involved. More and more frequently we are finding errors
in the tax assessments included in the telecom bills and many of these errors are
refundable and can result in credits received that can go back years. It just
makes sense to have your telecom billing managed by telecom bill auditing professionals with
experience in not only discovering these overcharges, but in helping your
company to obtain your telecom tax refunds.
