Re: Once a tax...

With gas, the tax is not listed as a separate line item in the price. So no one notices the tax is there.

On a cell phone bill, the taxes are all separate line items.

So in order for a cell phone company to keep collecting a tax that has been repealed, they would have to raise their rates, and not have a separate line item that said it was a tax, since it is not a tax.

So instead of a cell phone company saying you can buy their 1000 minute night and weekend plan for $39.99, they'd say it is now $42.73 on their ads? I don't think so.

Of course not. It will still be $39.99* as it advertised now with the "*" covering all the additional charges as it does now.

If I were the cell company, I would simply add the new increase to "regulatory compliance fee" line item.
