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.

    Yeah. Which is partly why I want to know how everything works.

    If I have to build my own solution that parses line by line through a CSV and runs logic, queries a DB that gets updates with new tax tables and spits out numbers so bet it. I’m willing to go that far since I have a background already doing similar things.

    I’m guessing someone may just direct me to all the FCC rules, guidelines, and tax literature. I would be happy with that as well as long as it was complete.

    I probably don’t want to maintain this forever but it can’t be that impossible to calculate everything for your first few customers.
