Why does NEKO Charge Taxes

Tax Question [edit] =Why does NEKO Charge NY and FED Taxes= All VOIP providers, and also Cablevision and Vonage charges taxes, but their bill presentment is different. Below is the tax portion of my bill from Vonage. Cablevison hides a lot of taxes in their bill, and it may also have to do with how their franchise was set up in the state. [edit] =Exempt= Only VOIP providers that are are exempt are the PC To PC VOIP providers like skype, yahoo voice etc. They are counted as information services. [edit] =NEKO's Position= We bill our VOIP services under the SCAT VI, Omni uses Billsoft which is the leading tax engine used by most of the carriers to calculate the tax portion of the bills as required by the different governmental taxes that pertains to VOIP. [edit] =Vonage Example= Regulatory and Compliance Fee $4.47 Emergency 911 Service Fee $4.47 Sales Tax $11.63 Federal Program Fee $10.69 State Excise Tax $3.51 County MCTD Surcharge Sec. 186 $0.82 County Transit Tax $0.51 State Franchise Surcharge Sec. 184-Access $0.32 State Franchise Surcharge Sec. 184-Usage $0.14 County MCTD Surcharge Sec. 184 $0.11 County MCTD Surcharge Sec. 184 $0.05
