A 12% "service tax" and a 6% "VOIP revenue sharing fee??"
Wow! I didn't know the Democrats also got elected in India!

To help you keep the cost of taxes in perspective, I get a 19% discount on my cell phone bill through my little bro's employer. My plan is advertised at $35 a month. With the 19% discount my monthly bill is .... tada, $35 a month. Or to put it another way, the effective tax rate for cell phones here is 19%. |

| Actually..
It sounds like you are using Verizon math! (see recent article)
So 19% off of $35 is $28.35.
The difference between $35 and $28.35 is $6.65.
$6.65 rounds to 23.5% of 28.35.
So the effective taxes on your bill is actually almost 24%!
Oh the fun you can have with numbers! |
