What taxes and fees am I subject to?

As a telecommunications service provider, NumberBarn and NumberGarage services are subject to taxes and regulatory fees as mandated by federal, state, and local governments.

These fees may include:

• The Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) fee imposed by the FCC
• The Federal Cost Recovery Charge covers the cost associated with federal and state regulatory compliance.  Components of the Federal Cost Recovery Charge include:
  • Federal Regulatory Fee
  • Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) Fee
  • North American Numbering Plan Fee
  • Support for Local Number Portability Administration. 
• City, county, and/or state sales tax

These charges are subject to change from time to time as the cost of these programs and the associated governmental fees change. These taxes and fees will differ based on a couple of factors including:

• The particular zip code or postal cost you reside in.
• The nature of the service you are using.
  • For example, accounts with two-way communication may have different taxes and fees than the NumberBarn Park plan or set up fees.
