Understanding Sales Taxes Charged

Wingrider, Thanks, but that billing example did not show the category I'm inquiring about. How else can I determine what the definition is of "City District Sales Tax", which only began appearing on our billing in November of last year? I understand regular city and state sales taxes, but this line item is new. On the current month's billing it equals 45% of (and in addition to) the city sales tax charge, so it is not an insignificant number. A third local tax -- "City Sales Tax - Telecom" -- also shows up on our wireless and U-Verse Voice billing, while both the regular city sales tax and the City District Sales Tax shows up on Internet, TV, Wireless and Voice. Obviously, AT&T must collect these taxes and pass them along, but it would be helpful to know how they're defined.

I would guess contact you local tax office, a quick search brought up something about a special crime prevention plan that was / is funded with a "district charge"  and a few other things, but nothing specific. It looks like everything is local dependant there. 

November of last year puts it around voting time for new and improved taxes and surcharges
