Talk:Telephone federal excise tax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Technical details
Dear fellow editors: I have added some details to this article with citations to the statutes and IRS notice on the year 2006 change. I also changed the reference to the action from "repeal" to "effective partial repeal." Actually, even "effective partial repeal" may not be strictly technically correct -- in effect, the tax as applied to the services deemed to be non-taxable was simply an improperly collected amount, apparently -- so there was really no statute to "repeal" on that count (and the IRS cannot repeal statutes anyway) -- just refund the money and stop collecting on the services that are not taxable. But the average person can perhaps understand this better by thinking of it as an "effective partial repeal." Yours, Famspear 20:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, yes. Looks much better. I was trying to make a framework there that could be expanded upon later with more facts, details and figures. You did just that, thanks. Shortfuse 02:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
