Do you know how much of your cell phone bill consists of taxes and fees?
Every year, a greater number of Americans depend on wireless service to stay connected with family, friends, and colleagues. But few stop to consider the taxes, fees, and surcharges that factor into the cost of service.
In Chicago, a typical household with four wireless phones paying $100 per month for taxable wireless service can expect to pay about$487 per year in wireless taxes, fees, and surcharges.
Overall, Illinois state residents face the highest combined state and local cell phone tax rate in the country at 20.91 percent.
That's more than double the average state and local sales tax rate in the state.
