Are telecom services taxed?
State Sales and Use Taxes or Communications Taxes: Most states apply either the general sales tax or a special communications-specific tax to telecom services. Some states simply include telecom in their normal sales tax base, while others impose a dedicated telecommunications excise or utility gross receipts tax on providers.
Do telecommunications taxes apply to my business?
The type of telecommunications service you provide (VoIP, wireless, wireline, etc.) will dictate which taxes and fees apply to your business. Some states have communications-specific taxes such as Florida whose communications service tax is inclusive of the state sales tax and a communications-specific tax that applies to telecom.
What taxes do non-telecom companies collect?
These taxes go by a variety of names such as sales tax, communications services tax, utility users tax, local license tax, etc. In the non-telecom world, a company would need to have either a physical presence or an economic presence in order to be required to collect these various taxes.
Which states impose a gross receipts tax on telecommunications services?
Other states also impose a gross receipts tax specifically on telecommunications services: Pennsylvania has a 5-percent gross receipts tax, for instance; Maryland is 2-percent and New York is 2.5-percent. These are annual corporate-type taxes, many times requiring an estimated payment like a corporate income tax.
