Each year, businesses big and small pay nearly $2 billion in federal excise tax on long distance phone calls. But the calling plans almost all companies use fall outside of the tax code because of the way calls are billed - and should therefore not be subject to the 3% federal excise tax. The lawfirm of Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby put the IRS’s interpretation of the code to the test in a case in U.S. District Court in Ohio. They’ve now won, and the almost $400,000 in refunds that client OfficeMax stands to collect will go right to its bottom-line.
 Now we’ve compiled the step-by-step guidance so you can apply for your refund, including the necessary IRS Forms and detailed stories from Voice Report in a new handbook, plus 90 minutes of legal guidance on tape or CD-ROM from lead attorneys on the OfficeMax case, Hank Levine and Stephen Rosen. They’ll walk you through the law, forms and process to secure your FET refunds. Cut 3% off your telecom bill right now – and secure hefty refunds of taxes already paid! With the handbook & tapes, discover:
- Why the tax code on toll services doesn’t cover today’s LD plans.
