Pennsylvania Cell Phone Tax

The big three taxes inflicted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its subdivisions are sales, property and income.

However, there are a host of sneaky little ones out there and they do add up.

Pennsylvania’s cell phone tax is 14.05 percent which is eighth highest in the nation. Washington State has the highest at 18.6 percent while adjacent Oregon has the lowest at 1.76 percent.

Note, this is on top of the federal 5.82 percent tax on wireless service.

A study  by the Centers for Disease Control found that 41 percent of American households have only cell phone service.
