GTE bills this tax on all calls I make including LD calls to other states and countries. Any calls which are billed directly by a long distance carrier do not include this tax. Does anyone know if this is correct treatment? I have tried to find out from GTE, but they claim they do not know anything about the tax. I find it incredible, but when I remember it is GTE, not so much. David Gast
