IRS to tax phone bills on top of state sales tax in Wisconsin
Wisconsin telephone customers face an added federal 6 percent excise tax on top of the state 4 percent sales tax. The policy affects 115 companies and could cost about 5 million dollars over the next five to six decades, with Wisconsin Telephone Co. bearing about 2.8 million.
