----<div class="row"> </div><div class="new-content-inner">The following information is a high-level overview of the various taxes that regulatory authorities mandate for commercial enterprises (US customers only). Because the taxes vary based on the type of service and the tax jurisdiction, this information cannot cover every scenario that a commercial enterprise might encounter.Voice services have many different taxes based on the tax jurisdiction where the service is being consumed. Because taxation and regulation vary from state to state, the taxes are significant not only at the federal level, but also at the state level.The taxes that can be assessed include the following:
 +
* State and Local Sales and Use Tax
 +
* Excise Tax
 +
* Gross receipts tax
 +
* Utility Users tax
 +
* E911
 +
* Local telecommunications taxes
 +
Other regulatory fees that are assessed include the following:
 +
* Federal USF
 +
* Federal TRS (Telecommunications Relay Service) Fund
 +
* North American Numbering Plan Administration
 +
* Local Number Portability shared costs
 +
* FCC Regulatory Fees

Voice taxes (United States)

 
The following information is a high-level overview of the various taxes that regulatory authorities mandate for commercial enterprises (US customers only). Because the taxes vary based on the type of service and the tax jurisdiction, this information cannot cover every scenario that a commercial enterprise might encounter.Voice services have many different taxes based on the tax jurisdiction where the service is being consumed. Because taxation and regulation vary from state to state, the taxes are significant not only at the federal level, but also at the state level.The taxes that can be assessed include the following:
  • State and Local Sales and Use Tax
  • Excise Tax
  • Gross receipts tax
  • Utility Users tax
  • E911
  • Local telecommunications taxes

Other regulatory fees that are assessed include the following:

  • Federal USF
  • Federal TRS (Telecommunications Relay Service) Fund
  • North American Numbering Plan Administration
  • Local Number Portability shared costs
  • FCC Regulatory Fees
Note:The following examples are illustrative in nature and do not constitute the exact percentages and taxes charged by each jurisdiction. The actual invoice contains all the applicable taxes charged by the specific jurisdiction where the customer’s business is located.
