Can anyone point me to a resource or explain how these are calculated? I want to start in compliance from dollar 1 if I can. I have 2 customers ready and I know I can line up others.

Normally I would operate as a telecom reseller but regulations basically push you into the provider category thanks to stir/shaken which is fine.

Let's say I'm reselling from Flowroute or Bandwidth. Do you have to always pull down the records of all the numbers for you customers every month and essentially apply math to everything and logic based on region/region instate/outofstate?

I just want to know what this normally looks like for most. Do those CDRs get sent off to a telecom tax place that turns them into something else? Does anyone do their own and have a way to process CSV's through automation?

I'm right up to the starting line of signing up customers but want to figure out the tax piece before billing anything.

I’ll give you a hint, maybe it’s helpful. Compliance is probably going to run you about $600 per month, for one state and an agent. Other states could be possible.

I wouldn’t run a telco business without tax compliance, specially if you are not selling thru a reseller with tax compliance. It’s possible for you to file yourself, but I don’t recommend it as it is highly complex but not impossible.

Lots of tax compliance companies out there as well as white label providers. GL!
