Metro Tax
Metro by T-Mobile retail monthly service plan prices include applicable taxes and regulatory fees ("taxes and fees"). Taxes and fees vary by state and even by local jurisdiction within some states. Taxes and fees are calculated on your cycle date and generally shown on your Activation Statement (at time of activation) or your Monthly Statement (for recurring cycle charges). These statements are available under Financial Transaction History of your individual My Account site.
In some situations, "flat taxes" may not be shown on your statement. “Flat taxes” include state and local taxes (or regulatory fees) that are calculated as a fixed amount (not a percentage) and may be imposed monthly per subscriber line, per retail transaction or other similar method. Regardless of whether these flat taxes are shown on your statement, applicable flat taxes are included in the monthly service plan price and Metro by T-Mobile (aka MetroPCS) remits these amounts to the relevant governmental authorities for active subscribers. You are obligated to pay the amount due pursuant to the Terms and Conditions and failure to do so may result in suspension of your services.
