C.T.Co patrons save on excise tax Commonwealth Tel- ephone Company customers have a special reason to be cheerful this holiday season. They will save on their telephone bills as the federal excise tax declines on Jan. 1, 1980. Consumers will save an estimated $429-million nationally. In an annual process set in motion by Congress several years ago, the tax has been declining by one per cent each January. This time it drops from three per cent of the telephone bill to two per cent. They levy will be completely eliminated on Jan. 1, 1982. The estimated dif- ference between what telephone customers would have paid at the three per cent rate and what they actually will pay at the new two per cent level makes up the tax savings for con- sumers. Some $69-million of the total $429-million will be saved by customers of the nation’s 1,500 independent (non-Bell affailiated) telephone companies, according to estimates by the United States Independent Telephone Association. The remainder of the savings - some $360-million - will go to Bell system customers. Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Donna Shaffer.
