Technology: Cell Tax Fairness Act of 2008
Today’s average wireless consumer faces an unfair and growing tax burden:
- The average wireless consumer already pays 15% in combined federal, state and local government taxes and fees on their monthly wireless bills
- Wireless taxes are currently DOUBLE or TRIPLE that of other goods and services. The excessive state and local tax rate on wireless service increased more that 4 times faster than other goods and services between January 2003 and July 2007. Every level of government is unfairly taxing wireless users to pay for programs and balance budgets.
- Nationally, wireless consumers pay approximately $21 billion dollars annally in wireless taxes and fees.
