Your cell provider may be taxed 1% on the revenue it generates from your bill, should cities succeed in a court claim.

Three large B.C. municipalities want cellphone and wireless network carriers to pay a one per cent tax on their revenue.

The cities are asking the court to make such a declaration because the companies are using infrastructure — legally known as “specified improvements” — within the municipality and generating revenue from it. The lawsuits, filed Sept. 8, name Rogers Communications, Bell Mobility, Freedom Mobile, Telus Communications, Fido Solutions, Terago Networks and Orion Wireless.

The claims note that wireless and wired networks intermingle on the same infrastructure, sharing the same “core network.”
