III. Taxes and Fees

All applicable taxes (e.g. excise taxes, sales taxes, municipal utilities taxes) are listed as a separate line item on your bill and are not included in the quoted rates and charges set forth in this document. To the extent that a municipality, other political subdivision or agency of government imposes upon and collects from Verizon a gross receipts tax, occupation tax, license tax, permit fee, franchise fee, or regulatory fee, such taxes and fees shall, insofar as practicable and allowed by law, be billed pro rata to customers receiving service from Verizon within the territorial limits of such municipality, other political subdivision or agency of government.

We may adjust our rates and charges or impose additional rates and charges on customers in order to recover amounts we are required by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities to collect or pay to others in support of statutory or regulatory programs. Examples of such programs include, but are not limited to, the Universal Service Fund (USF). Imposition, billing and collection of such rates and charges are subject to billing and other system changes by Verizon.

The Universal Service Fund Fee allows us to recover contributions paid to support the Universal Service Fund. Telecommunications services that we provide are subject to an undiscountable monthly Universal Service Fund Fee, payable by the customer.  The gross amounts (exclusive of taxes) attributable to interstate and international services that we bill to the customer will be multiplied by 14.9%.  This percentage is subject to period adjustment by us.
