Maryland Tax Court Upholds Cell Phone Fees
An AP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Two of Maryland's largest jurisdictions did not overstep their authority by imposing cell phone fees, the state tax court has ruled.More here.
The court rejected an attempt by four wireless providers to overturn Baltimore's $3.50 a month fee on cell phones and land lines imposed in 2004, and Montgomery County's $2 wireless fee imposed three years ago.
T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and Cingular Wireless challenged the fees in February 2005, arguing that they were really sales taxes, which only the state can impose.
The court ruled against the companies last week.
