iTalkBB and tax

Like it or not, April 15th is the due day for filing income tax in United States. In the spirit of tax day, I'll talk about the tax and fees for iTalkBB. Remember to use promotion code "953110+8991095718" to get $15 off at sign up.

If you are in United States, you are lucky -- iTalkBB's $299 Global Unlimited Annual Plan has already included all tax and miscellaneous fees that you often see on your other phone bills. With the 2-month free promotion, you get 14 months' unlimited local and long distance service (including International) for a merely $284 (with the promotion code above).

If you are in Canada, unfortunately the tax comes separately: the tax rate is as follows:

• Alberta (AB): 6%
  
• British Columbia (BC): 13%
  
• Manitoba (MB): 13%
  
• New Brunswick (NB): 14%
  
• Newfoundland (NF): 14%
  
• Nova Scotia (NS): 14%
  
• Northwest (NT): 6%
  
• Nunavut (NU): 6%
  
• Ontario (ON): 16.7%
  
• Prince Edward Island (PE): 14%
  

Happy Tax Day!
