Interesting that the only mainstream site that was trying to spin this as a good thing for consumers was MSNBC. I don't want to get dragged into a political battle but there is a reason that network is often dead last of all the major news channels.
The Fox News article is actually just a syndication of the original Wall Street Journal article. The point of the article was not that this was a new tax, but that they are rewriting the way that it works. Right now if I use my work mobile for 1500 minutes in a month (ever been on a 12 hour conference call?  ) and for personal 100 minutes, then I'd pay taxes on 6.6% of my bill. This new bill says that it is too cumbersome for employers and employees to track those minutes (because the IRS really care about you... really... honest..., STOP LAUGHING!), so lets just assume that EVERYONE uses their business cell phone for personal use 25% of the time and call it a day.
An now my cell phone taxes went up by 380%.
