I have a new Samsung phone and I live in CT. Last month they charged me $38 on my bill for the sales tax for the new phone which was $600. I'm paying for the phone itself over 20 installments of $30 each. Now again I'm getting that same $38 charge.

I'm paying for the phone itself over 20 installments of $30 each. Now again I'm getting that same $38 charge. I can't believe that the monthly CT tax is higher than the payment for the phone itself. Does this make sense. Last time I spoke with them on the phone it was for 1 1/4 hours for something simple. I don't want to call unless I need to. The salesman told me nothing about any of this. Thank you for any help you can offer.

In some states (depends on the states requirements) you are charged the sales tax for the full cost of the device up front. $38 is roughly 6% of $600.

Hi elliew, thank you for your response. What I mean is that I paid the $38 last month. That was the full tax for the phone. Now they are billing me for the same thing again. Something is wrong.

What does the bill say the $38 is exactly? What is the sales tax rate in CT? $38 out pf $600 is 6.3% Heck I paid $48 sales tax for a $500 phone in my state.

The last bill said the $38 charge that month was for the full price of the phone. Now the same $38 charge is on this month's bill. I dread calling them. A few weeks ago I was on the phone with them for 1 hour 15 minutes for something simple. I just don't have the time.
