Yes a telephone tax that helped pay for the Spanish American War from 1898 has been cut!
The tax was imposed in 1898 to help pay for the Spanish-American War. It was designed as a tax on wealthy Americans, back when phone service was considered a luxury.
Time to celebrate!! I have no idea how much I pay but all phone companies need to stop charging this tax on August 1st. And we can get a refund for taxes paid since 2003.
