I have two taxes listed on my bill here in Connecticut...
REIMBURSEMENT OF CT GROSS EARNINGS TAX 2.90
STATE/LOCAL TAX (SALES/GROSS RECEIPTS) 10.65
No one can tell me what the Reimbursement of CT Gross Earnings Tax means. I have been paying this "Reimbursement" for years now.

On a positive note, my cell phone bill went down a whopping 38 cents...and I'm sure those with a landline phone saved a nickle or two. Of course, I can't wait to get socked with the 5% communications tax when I renew my annual VOIP service. It's only a matter of time before they reach into our back pocket and tax every packet.
What ever happened to the law suit that Dish filed in Ohio to get rid of the Ohio sales tax on Dish?
The reason for the suit was that the tax only applied to satellite dishes and not cable.
Chief
Now that you brought it up,may add Puerto Rico with a Brand New 7% Sales Tax ,And you can bet it will be added to all Communications,Sat included
Hi Techno:
Not all the counties here in Puerto Rico In Bayamon is 5.5 sales tax
I pay a 7.5% sales tax here in Ecscambia County FL. plus a 5% utility tax by the county on Gas, water, garbage, Electricity, telephone, cellphone, cable and Dish Network. Now that sucks.
MA tax is 5%, but we do not have a tax on satellite TV, so you could imagine my amazement when there was tax on my Dishnetwork bill. At least until I realized the tax was for my subscription to Dish Magazine (mags are taxed here 5%). We are taxed 5% on tangeable goods that are not necessities. Food is not taxed, vegetable seeds and plants are not taxed, herb seeds and plants are not taxed. Non-luxury clothing (under $300 dollars per item) is not taxed. Services (except of hospitality and meals) are not taxed. Flowers, flower seeds, flower plants, toilet paper, etc. are taxed.
I live in NY ant have been charged $1.84/month state/local sales tax since early this year. What gives?
I have the Welcome Pack on a month to month deal and pay no tax here in NY. A state senator from Brooklyn wanted to add a 5% tax on satellite earlier this year but it was shot down the last I heard.
What gives, is you should not ask what gives. You are lucky (and greatly surprised). Here, in IN, we (our account) pay $6.27 .
Illinois doesn't tax sat service, not sure about cable. But they have tried to change the law at least once, but it didn't go anywhere.

Yes that is in Texas, I believe in CN the surcharge was over $3 it isn't in every state but it is hidden in many states billing.
When I was with Dish, the only sales tax I was charged on was on the $6 DVR fee (now $7) and the $9 primary receiver fee that's included within the package price. This is in Michigan where the sales tax rate is a flat 6%. 6% of $15 equals only $0.90.
?Now I'm with Directv where I'm only being $0.72 in Sales tax.
