Description:
Are you overtaxing your customers? Overapplying regulatory fees and charges? Is your current methodology a competitive disadvantage? What is really IN your bundle?
This webinar looks at bundled offers that include telecom and Internet access services - plus whatever else marketing comes up with - and discusses what can/should you do to minimize the impact to both your customers and your regulatory and/or tax filings. Specific topics include:
- Basics of FUSF and state transaction tax bundling rules
- Requirements contained in the Internet Tax Freedom Act, the Mobile Telecom Sourcing Act, the Streamlined Sales Tax model statute and the FCC Safe Harbor percentages
- The role of an “official” traffic study when dealing with a basic all-distance calling plan or bucket of minutes
- Best practices for how a traffic study can be performed and documented
- Dealing with advanced offerings such as mobile voice plus text plus Internet access
- Emerging streaming offerings or advanced VoIP telecom offerings that may include video conferencing, IVR software, call center productivity software or other SaaS or API components
- The role of a component part valuation analysis
The presenters also discuss best practices for how a valuation analysis can be performed and documented as well as support an allocation of value between component parts.
