VoIP Taxes - Are you paying them?
-
So like using Google Hangouts, that's VoIP. And it never touches the PSTN. And it is completely tax free. A VoIP call that hits the PSTN stops being a VoIP call, so gets taxed when it becomes part of the PSTN.

Right, and yet we've never got a bill for using the Hangouts feature of calling a land line. So either Google pays the tax directly (likely) or, actually thats whats going on.
The big issue I am running into is I have found good customer base for selling just the voice platform, which is really what I want. However, they want to bring theyre trunks and bill the customer direct (which is fine) but another guy who I am taking some business from is giving a lot of pause over taxes.
Ironically, his own platform uses suretax I believe and charges huge fees that could easily be bypassed.

Taxes, is exactly why I do not do anything more than help clients sign up for their own service.

Just start a new chat, type a 10 digit number as the contact, hit send. The party getting the call sees "unkown"

I've not found Hangouts to be all that reliable, even for just Hangouts own calls.

I wish they'd quit messing with features. I used to use this all the time, but around a year ago it just quit working.
