The Prepaid Wireless E911 Surcharge is a charge imposed on the consumer, to be collected by sellers, when a retail transaction takes place which includes prepaid wireless telecommunications service. Currently, consumers on subscription plans, including mobile and land line phones, pay a similar surcharge for 9-1-1 service. This new surcharge has been implemented to ensure that funding for the emergency assistance (9-1-1 service) is maintained with equal contribution from consumers of prepaid wireless telecommunications service.
NOTE: This surcharge does not change previously established sales tax obligations on prepaid services.
