Taxes on account

Does Directv add on taxes to your bill?

I am looking at a setup on the Directv website and the total is $53.95 per month. Would that be my bill total per month or are there additional taxes?

There is tax. Here in WI some sevies billed are at at the state level 5% and some services billed are at the county level 5.5%. Haven't really figured out why that is but, it is what it is. By services I mean leased receiver fee, mirrored receiver fee, programming package, dvr service, hd access, and premium channels.

Approx how much are you paying in taxes?

My last bill was $6.17 for sales tax. Each leased receiver is 28 cents, HD Access is 50 cents, HBO and Starz is $1.25, and my Total Chice Plus is $2.75.

The taxes vary widely, depending on which state you are in. Here in WA, only the leased receiver fee is taxed ($0.43 in my county). Florida and some others have dedicated satellite taxes which are much higher.

Thanks Bob. Anyone in Illinois know what taxes they have to pay?

You don't pay sales tax on your entire bill in WA?

If I understand it right in Florida you pay state sales tax (at a pretty high rate!) plus a state satellite tax fee which is pretty high also. Here in Wisconsin we pay 5.5% sales tax which is 5 % state and .5% for county tax in all but a couple of counties. So a $100 D* bill has $5.50 tax added.

I live in central ILL. and have no tax's added to my bill.

PA, We have to pay 6% sales tax. So $6 per $100. No Satellite tax though.
