As               Dorothy               walked               through               the               scary               woods               outside               of               Oz               she               remarked,               "lions               and               tigers               and               bears,               oh               my."               If               she               were               living               in               the               U.S.

today,               she               just               might               be               singing               about               "taxes,               fees               and               surcharges,               oh               my,               oh               my,               oh               my...."               To               see               what               I               mean,               please               take               a               close               look               at               your               electricity               and               telephone               (cell               or               landline)               bills.

You               may               have               to               view               several               pages               to               locate               all               of               the               taxes,               fees               and               surcharges               (TFS)               listed.

And,               at               least               on               my               AT               &               T               cell               phone               bill,               the               charges               are               broken               up               by               individual               cell               phone               and               then               regrouped               under               various               categories,               including               one               that               is               entitled,               "Credits,               Adjustments               and               Other               Charges."               Yet,               what               is               listed               (Regulatory               Cost               Recovery               Charge               and               Federal               Universal               Service               Charge)               sure               sound               like               taxes               to               me!
               Individually               each               of               these               is               probably               not               all               that               significant               in               terms               of               extra               cost;               collectivity,               they               start               to               mount               up               fast.

At               least               where               I               live               (in               Naples,               FL),               these               bills               have               TFS'               amounting               to               approximately               15.9%               and               18.7%               of               each               original               bill,               respectively.
               To               compute               the               increased               cost               in               terms               of               a               percentage,               simply               tally               all               the               TFS',               divide               by               the               original               amount               of               charges               and               multiply               by               100%.
               Some               people               (especially               those               who               are               collecting               these               TFS')               will               likely               say               that               the               TFS'               are               a               percentage               of               the               TOTAL               cost               (i.e.,               the               TFS'               divided               by               the               sum               of               the               original               amount               plus               the               TFS'               and               then               times               100%)               rather               than               the               original               cost.

This               computation               changes               the               basis               to               which               the               TFS'               are               compared.

It               increases               the               denominator,               which               means               the               percentage               amount               is               lowered.

This               is               supposed               to               make               the               taxation               less               onerous.
               For               the               situation               described               above,               using               the               same               numbers               for               electricity,               water               and               phone,               the               new               percentage               comparisons               are               13.7%               and               15.7%,               respectively.
               Even               though               these               numbers               explain               the               percentage               of               TFS'               in               the               total               bill,               the               actual               amount               coming               out               of               your               wallet               or               checking               account               is               the               same.

Only               the               percentage               comparison               has               been               changed               to               hide               the               facts.

And               the               TFS'               are               supposed               to               be               computed               based               on               the               original               amount               of               the               bill;               hence               they               really               are               add-ons.
               In               short,               it               isn't               that               either               comparison               is               wrong;               it's               just               that               a               judicious               choice               of               the               basis               can               camouflage               the               true               taxation               rate.
               There               are               similar,               even               more               expensive               additional               charges               involved               in               travel.

Look               at               the               cost               of               your               airline               tickets,               hotel               charges               and               car               rental               bills.

The               worst,               however,               involves               car               rentals.
               During               the               summer               of               2009,               we               rented               a               car               for               two               weeks               at               Midway               Airport               (MDW),               Chicago,               IL.

The               initial               cost               of               the               car               rental               was               $262.98.

After               the               addition               of               a               20%               state               tax,               a               $2.75               per               rental               motor               vehicle               tax               and               a               $3.75               per               day               customer               facility               charge,               our               rental               was               increased               by               $113.85               (to               a               total               cost               of               $376.83).

This               translates               into               a               rental               cost               escalation               of               43.3%.

If               we               play               with               the               numbers               and               compare               the               TFS'               to               the               total               cost,               the               TFS'               are               only               30.2%               of               the               total               cost.
               I               thought               this               was               excessive.

That               is,               until               I               rented               a               car               at               Sky               Harbor               Airport               (PHX),               Phoenix,               AZ.

There,               my               two-day               rental               of               $44.78               soared               by               $32.76               to               a               total               amount               of               $77.54.

Here               the               TFS'               amounted               to               a               mind-boggling               increase               in               my               rental               rate               of               73.2%.

If               we               juggle               the               numbers               a               bit,               we               find               that               TFS               is               only               42.2%               of               the               total               car               rental               bill.
               Still,               the               transportation               privilege               tax               (10.3%),               the               stadium               surcharge               (3.25%),               the               vehicle               license               surcharge               (5%),               the               concession               recovery               fee               (11.11%),               the               customer               facility               charge               ($6.00               per               day)               and               a               frequent               flyer               service               charge               ($3.00               total)               take               their               toll.
               With               such               hidden               taxation               raising               its               head               even               further               as               local               governments               try               to               balance               their               strained               budgets,               and               with               the               Federal               government               looking               for               new               revenue               sources,               it               shouldn't               take               much               time               for               these               TFS'               to               top               100%               somewhere.

I               think               this               will               happen               sooner               rather               than               later.
               It               might               just               be               a               good               time               to               start               paying               serious               attention               to               the               line               items               on               your               bills               (regardless               of               the               source)               to               get               a               better               handle               of               just               how               much               taxation               is               being               levied               on               you               today.
               I               intend               to               keep               checking               my               car               rental               and               other               bills.

If               I               find               one               that               exceeds               the               73.2%               rate               documented               here,               I'll               report               it               immediately               in               an               update               to               this               article.
