Cell-ebrate Good Times, C’mon!

2007 April 2

The confusion surrounding the infamous telephone excise tax continues to mount.  Next on the list?  A number of folks have the impression that, in order to claim the tax, you have to have a land-line.  Not so.  Cell phone users may qualify, as well as fax and internet phone customers.  Why?  The refund of the three-percent tax applies not only to long distance service billed between 2/28/2003 and 8/1/2006 but to bundled service, as well.

If you’re not sure whether this applies to you, check your phone bill.  Phrases to look for include:  Federal,
Federal Excise 3%, Federal Excise @ 3%, Federal Excise Tax, Federal
Tax, Fed Excise Tax and FET.
