This equals more taxes overall. And the new company is going to have to collect this money, plus an additional 50% for profit. Sprint has to be going under.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20843515 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:48:48 EDT Re: Good going http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20843284 fiberguy : Without knowing the terms of the lease, what empowers you to make a comment like that? Its' quite possible that as part of the lease, and is common, the owners maintain the towers, permit them, etc. It reduces labor costs, ownership costs, etc.

I think you don't know what you're talking about. But, in the spirit of, well, many others, your cute remark fits in here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20843284 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:16:33 EDT Re: Good going http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20841643 TKJunkMail :

State & local taxes can be eliminated and federal taxes can be reduced as leases are operational expenses that reduce taxable income.
Doesn't the new owner of the towers have the same tax consequences that the towers previously caused for Sprint? Won't they just pass that along to Sprint?

That would all be taken in to account with the terms of the lease. Obviously the tower company would want all their costs( + a profit) covered in the lease. So the localities aren't losing anything, but Sprint gets advantages by having the costs covered "above the line" in the lease.

There are tax advantages leasing versus owning. State & local taxes can be eliminated and federal taxes can be reduced as leases are operational expenses that reduce taxable income.
Exactly! One thing we both agree upon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20841520 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:13:19 EDT Re: Good going http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20841256 TKJunkMail :
