Surcharges and Other Fees / Government Fees and Taxes. How are they calculated?

robwop · ‎12-12-2012

I have recently changed my phone contract to a family plan with 3 lines. For Me, my brother and my sister.

The primary line has more charges billed to it and I have to apportion between the 3 to make it fair.

The problem I am having is that I do not understand the charges for:

- Federal Universal Service Charge

- County Communications Tax

- FL State Communications Tax

From the phone bill what is included in the calculations? If I knew that then I would be able to work out the percentage rates. They seem to have no correlation.
