Closely estimated taxes and fees

I am considering Verizon as my next carrier. Why is it that nobody can give me a decently close estimate of the total taxes and fees I should expect to see
on my bill when I provide the exact plan I am interested in and my zip code?
First, a Verizon rep (via website chat) was able to give me a dollar amount of taxes and fees.
Then, a day later, I checked with two more reps (via website chat) and both of them said they could not (as they didn't have "access to this information")
Additonally on the Verizon Facebook page, a Verizon contact first said they should be able to give me this information and asked my zip code and what plan I was interested in. Then, they overwrote the post and said they could NOT give me this information because it would depend on the amount of the bill. Why would the bill amount vary that much? Something is fishy here...

If this helps: on my 5-line family plan bill (old plan) I am paying $4.79 for each of four lines and $5.60 for the fifth line (it has the most features on it). Hope that helps...
That really doesn't mean anything. The number of lines, type of plan and area where you live will make a huge difference. for example in my area the sales tax is 9.75% in many areas it would be lower. In my area they charge $1 per line 9-1-1 fee. In some areas that might be more or less. We have 5 lines 2 get a $25 a month discount. In those lines the total taxes and fees are $4 on the 3 liens with the discount it's $5.75
On a More Everything plan the best estimation one can give is probably $4-$8 per line

Taxes and fees from other states on my bill

I live in Texas and am being charged for Arkansas 911 fees, Arkansas taxes, etc. Why? I have never lived there and have only very briefly visited several years ago. Explanation would be much appreciated!

The service address stored in your account online might be stored as an Arkansas address. Did you start or purchase a Verizon Wireless phone while in Arkansas at any time? In your MyVerizon account online, click on "My Profile" and scroll down to the Service address row. There will be a link to change your service address.

Taxes and fees on just the device

I was looking to upgrade two lines to the iPhone 4S which would be $499.98 before my NE2 discount of $30 but when I get to the checkout screen, the system wants to charge me $122 in taxes. I know the wireless usage tax here is 22% but is it also supposed to apply to the purchase of the phone itself?
***UPDATE***
So I finally got a hold of a customer service rep on the phone who informed me that California taxes the device based on the full, non-contract, price of the phone and that was the reason for the crazy number.

Yep gotta love the CA legislature..... but look at your weather!!!!

Taxes and surcharges went up on my bill?

i just recently checked my bill, last months bill was 67.98 about 7 dollars and some cents in taxes and surcharges, i get todays bill on the myverizon site and now it says taxes and surcharges are over 9 dollars. why is that? and what can i do about this? is it possible to cancel because of this?

My taxes and surcharges fluctuate each month - based on base usage, overages, data charges, any number of things. I rarely have two bills that are exactly the same from month to month, even if we have no overages.
Were there any equipment changes, plan changes. overages, roaming or any other extra charges? The taxes and fees (as I understand it) are a percentage of your "base", so if that changes, so would your taxes.

Taxes, Governmental Surcharges, and Fees

My charges in the category referenced in the subject, increased from $5.05 to $12.02 from October to November, with no change in usage.
Anybody know why or also experienced this increase?
Thanks.

that category was the only one that changed. Increased by $7
But you are obviously not looking at your DETAILED bill as you have not said WHAT has increased.
When I sign into MyVerizon, click "View Bill" and then click "Print Bill" a PDF of my DETAILED bill opens up in a new window.
I then scroll down to the details of my first line(primary) and come up with a breakdown of the "Taxes, Governmental Surcharges, and Fees" category into:
Taxes, Governmental Surcharges and Fees
State Public Safety Comm Surchg 1.20
Cnty 911 Surchg .30
State Sales Tax 3.64
Cnty Sales Tax 3.64
Total $8.78
Scroll down to my 2nd line and the same category is broken down as:
Taxes, Governmental Surcharges and Fees
Public Safety Comm Surchg 1.20
Cnty 911 Surchg .30
State Sales Tax .46
Cnty Sales Tax .46
Total $2.42
Third line:
Taxes, Governmental Surcharges and Fees
Public Safety Comm Surchg 1.20
Cnty 911 Surchg .30
State Sales Tax .46
Cnty Sales Tax .46
Total $2.42
Etc... for all five lines.
Compare these figures with your previous bill and you can see what has increased and know who/what is to blame.

Withholding tax and Gross amount determination

Dear all
First of all, I would like to underline that before to post in this forum I have read all the documentation (official and not official) related to the Withholding Tax configuration in SAP, but in the end I have some doubts and so I kindly ask you cooperation to better understand the logical of the system.
In our country (ITLAY) the withholding tax (WTH tax) must be withheld at the payment invoice to the vendor, so our system should automatically calculate and posts the amount to the right tax account; my question is: which setting we have to use in order to have the right calculation of the base amount?
When you enter the invoice, the system determines the base amount for withholding tax and stores it in the document (INVOICE ENTRY SIDE). You can also enter the base amount directly. When the invoice is paid, the tax amount is calculated from the base amount and your specifications for the tax code. If the tax amount is to be paid to the tax authorities, the system automatically posts the amount to the tax account. The system reduces the payment amount to the vendor by the withholding tax to be paid (INVOICE PAYMENT SIDE).
At the Invoice Entry SIDE when entering documents, if the withholding tax is to be calculated at the time payment is made, only the base amount is calculated when the invoice is posted, this is what we are looking for, so my question is:
How does the system calculate the base amount of WTH tax?
Maybe an example could be better to explain our request:
Invoice received from a Tax adviser that is liable to Withholding tax.
1.     Invoice Total Amount                                                  1372
2.     Fees (Tax Base amount and WHT Tax base amount)                         1000
3.     Specific Italian Contribution     (Tax Base amount and NO WHT Tax base amount)          20
4.     Social Security Contribution     (Tax Base amount and WHT Tax base amount)          40
5.     Expenses reimbursement (NO Tax Base amount and NO WHT Tax base amount)          100
6.     VAT Basis (point 2 + 3 + 4)                                             1060
7.     VAT Amount (20%)                                                  212
8.     Withholding Tax Basis (point 2 + 4)                                        1040
9.     Withholding Tax Amount (20%)                                        208
Is it possible to manage this flow under the Invoice Verification FLOW? It means:
1.     Issue a Purchase Order to the TAX consultant
2.     post the GR for services
3.     post the IR, in this step the System should calculate the WTH base amount 1040
4.     post the payment and the WTH TAX
Accounting flow is:
Point 2) post the GR for services
         Credit      Balance Sheet GRIR services account                                   -1040
         Debit      P&L Account for services                                             1040
Point 3) post the IR
        Credit      Vendor Account                                                   -1372
        Debit      Balance Sheet GRIR services account                                    1040
                       WTH TAX BASE AMOUNT
        Debit      P&L Account Expenses reimbursement                                   100
                        NO TAX BASE AMOUNT AND NO WHT TAX BASE AMOUNT
        Debit      P&L Account Specific Italian Contribution                                   20
                        TAX BASE AMOUNT AND NO WHT TAX BASE AMOUNT
       Debit     Balance Sheet Tax Account                                             212
Point 4) post payment to the vendor
      Debit      Vendor Account                                                   1372
      Credit      Balance Sheet WTH TAX ACCOUNT                                   -208
     Credit      Balance Sheet Bank Account                                             -1164
I have just one doubt: for the calculation of the WTH TAX base amount the system consider the amount/value of the GR, so in this case 1040 or the system will take in consideration all the item for the VAT TAX BASE AMOUNT, so in this case 1060?
I am asking this because I found on the SAP documentation, when it explain the Withholding Tax Type Calculation Setting:
Gross amount - The withholding tax base amount equals the line item gross amount.
Tax amount - The withholding tax base amount equals the tax amount of the line item.
I know my request is not so clear, and I have to apologize with you because it is very long, but please someone can help me
Regards
Marco

Surcharges and fees

Our family plan contract (with unlimited data) is over and we are considering different options including prepaid. Do the prepaid accounts have the same surcharges and government fees that are charged on the family plans? From the description, it appears there is just a flat fee (of course taxes will be added). Same question on the 65-plus plan.
Thanks

The 65+ plan would have the taxes and surcharges etc. The prepaid I believe depends on the prepay plan. If you have the phone where you purchase minutes as you need them, then I would imagine not. If it's a prepaid plan where you pay a set amount every month and no contract then I would say yes to the taxes/surcharges etc. Hope this helps:)

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Billing Problem: Tax and Franchise Fee for Internet Service

As I said it's likely not fixed. They likely just issued a one time credit to offset the charges, but the charges will just be back next month. I already said agents have no control over taxes.

I am currently being charged tax and a franchise fee for my internet only service. I do not have cable/TV service. I have verified this fact with two Comcast representatives. However, my account as it appears online shows that I have cable/tv service. As per H.R. 3086 - 113th Congress (2013-2014), Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act - Amends the Internet Tax Freedom Act to make permanent the ban on state and local taxation of Internet access and on multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. Therefore, since the Comcast representatives verify that I have only Internet service, the tax and franchise fees on my bill are illegal. On numerous occasions I have requested that this error be addressed, and now I am resorting to this forum for some help before I file a complaint with my local utilities and other regulatory boards. My wish is not to create a problem for Comcast. I simply wish for my bill to be corrected and reflect only the legal charges associated with my account. Thus far, no Comcast representative has been able to address or correct this problem.

A/R Installment Payments with Sales Taxes and Freight in 1st payment

Our sales dept. wants to offer our customers Installment Payment plans (6, 12, 24 mths) for product sales which is easy enough to set up using Payment Terms and the Installment Payment flag.
But our Accounting Dept wants to collect the Sales Taxes and Freight "up front" in the first payment.
We do not want to use Milestone billing since Accounting wants to recognize the revenue of the sale during the month of the sale ... so a single Invoice to the customer with the Payment Plan printed on the invoice is the option they want done.
I have not been able to find any way to set up the Installment Plan configuration to do such a thing. The Terms of Payment refer to the total Invoice amount.
Has anyone here be able to accomplish such configuration (without doing custom coding in a User Exit)?
Example: $60,000 item, %5,000 tax, $100 frieght = $65,100 total invoice. (6 month payment plan)
   Payment #1 = $15,100
   Payment #2 = $10,000
   Payment #3 = $10,000
   Payment #4 = $10,000
   Payment #5 = $10,000
   Payment #6 = $10,000

I have already set up the installment plan in OBB9 with 6 entries (1 - 6) for my IP Payment Term of IPM1. I have the percentages setup as 16.67 for each of the installments and the last set at 16.65 (equaling 100%).
The problem with Sales Tax and Freight is that you can not simply assign an arbitrary percentage to the 1st installment (for example make the 1st installment 25% and break up the remaining 5 installments fromt he other 75%).
We need to make sure that the first Installment from the customer is for the Sales Tax, the Freight, and exactly 1/6 of the material cost (if it is a 6 month payment plan).
I have activated User Exit EXIT_SAPLV60B_007 to intercept table generation of the installment plan that is sent to Accounting to fix this problem. Now the Accounting document connected with the customer invoice is correct. My next step is to fix the SmartForm print of the Installment Plan on the customer's Invoice.

My I Mac has a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave it with safari or mail open when I come back to it it has closed these down and I have to re open

My I Mac has developed a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave for awhile with Safari or anything else left on when I return it has closed these down and I have to re open them, has anybody got any ideas how to cure these problems if possible.

For FaceTime try the troubleshooting advice given here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
Also try resetting your iPad:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

I have customized my Firefox toolbar. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?

I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.

The reason im asking is im leaving US by May 2015. How much EFT will cost by May 2015? Do I have to return the device as well? or i can keep the device?

kiyoungtack1,
You have asked a great question! It is your choice how you would like to go about purchasing the iPhone. Do you currently have an iPhone? If so you can trade in your current iPhone and put it towards the purchase of the new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus at full retail pricing. http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Have you checked to see if you are eligible for Early Edge? If you would like us to investigate further into which option would be the most cost efficient to you please private message me so we can review further.

Dynamic taxes and charges of Purchase Order

Hi
We have the following issues in purchase order:
The discounts offered by vendors vary from PO to PO. Sometimes the discounts are applicable on basic price and in some cases it is applicable on the price after some charges/taxes. This is not feasible in the current configuration, as we are unable to overrule the pricing conditions and the order of computation of discounts/taxes.
In some cases, we get an adhoc discount of an absolute value, which is not feasible to enter in the PO.
The excise modvat received from some traders is in absolute value and not in percentage. There is no provision to record the same as well.
Please let me know a feasible solution for this, as the charges, taxes and discounts vary from order to order and we would like to have the flexibility to define them physically in the order in which they are applicable (both in terms of percentage and absolute value).
There are cases where we would like to enter the percentage and the amount on which that rate needs to be applied. SAP's pricing condition automatically computes this. We need a solution for this as well.
Thanks in advance.
Shaji Varghese

Hi Shaji,
I would advise you to do this step by step. If you want to design the complete priciing procedure for ll cases immediately , you have to be experienced in pricing.
E.g. in your case : start with the complete manual solution ( and add automation afterwards if possible/desirable )
In the most basic scenario, you need something like
-Base price
-Discounts % Before
-Discounts Value
-Discount % After
-Tax1 base
-Tax1 %
-Tax1 value ( calculated )
-Tax2 base
-Tax2 %
-Tax2 value ( calculated )
-Total tax ( calculated )
In you create manual price conditons for all ( except tax value ), this should very fairly straightforward.
If you need a base for the % discount that is not available in the above, you add a condition type ( statistical ) and manually input the base specificially for the discount.
As I said, if it works, you can start to add more automation where possible ( e.g. determine a default for the tax bases and only update manually when necessary ). To do this create a price condition record that is always found by the system ( e.g. with value 0 ), but mark it as manual input takes priority. Thne use a condition base value formula to default the condition type. If you change it anyway, you changed value will be used
( this also has the advantage that the confition type 'appears' immediatly on the screen and the user only needs to fill, instead of adding the condition type itself also manually )
SAP pricing is VERY flexible and the same requirement can be implemented in many ways. It really depends on the complete picture to choose,
rgds
