New Phone Bill
Anyone ever got a bring it back contract and had to pay alot of tax?
My bring it back contract for my old phone ended on january and returned it. I got a new phone (s22) with a bring it back contract. I, of course have to pay a one time connection fee of $50. With my plan I am paying 52$ + Bring it Back Easy Payment $30 + Connection fee $50 = $132.. plus with my wifes phone bill adds up to $208. Make sense... but what doesnt make sense is I am getting charged $150 tax... TAX.. $150?? on a $208 PHONE BILL... I believe that tax here in Manitoba is 12%... not 75%. and the device payment I chose is $0 upfront...
Can anyone explain or experienced the same situation? Thank you
The government gets its share up front. The tax is charged on the value of the new phone.
