New tax on pre-paid cell phones takes effect 1 Jan 2017 New Commercial 911 charge on prepaid cell phones aimed at benefitting all Kentuckians - law effective 1 Jan 2017; retailers to collect new fee Click on headline for complete story with details By Pamela Trautner News from Commonwealth News Center FRANKFORT, KY (21 Dec 2016) - Customers who purchase prepaid cell phones or calling cards in 2017 will see a new, small service charge on their receipt, but it is a tax that helps save lives. The charge is comparable to fees that currently appear on customer billings for communications services from traditional wireless providers. The new Kentucky law passed during the 2016 legislative session requires retailers that sell cellular phones or calling cards with preloaded minutes to charge an additional flat rate of $0.93 per purchase. The fee is effective January 1, 2017. This new small fee helps fund the vitally important 911 service throughout the Commonwealth. "Retailers are our partners in collecting this service charge that has tremendous benefit to all Kentuckians," said Daniel Bork, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Revenue. "This flat rate helps fund 911 services throughout the state. Safety of our citizens is everyone's top priority. Our role is to ensure timely distribution of these funds so that local 911 services have the resources needed to continue to provide that security." This service charge helps fund a multitude of necessary items that 911 emergency services require to function properly. These important needs include hiring additional 911 operations personnel, developing or upgrading address databases, updating software for computer and phone equipment, improving GIS mapping and radio systems as well as technical training for staff. The Kentucky Department of Revenue (DOR) has made necessary system changes and is ready to administer the new commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) 911 charge on Jan. 1. Affected purchases include:
Retailers must be set up to file and pay the CMRS charge when it begins on January 1, 2017. To file the CMRS prepaid service charge return, or access other online features, retailers must first register for this new charge within the Kentucky Business OneStop Portal (KyBOS). For taxpayer registration questions with KyBOS, call 502-564-5053. This story was posted on 2016-12-24 06:09:24
