Summary of Content Changes

In Telecom Decision 2025-322, the CRTC established a 2026 interim revenue-percent charge of 0.11% effective January 1, 2026. In that same decision, the CRTC stated that it intended to publish a revised 2026 interim rate in the first half of 2026. We have monitored very closely for that publication, which came in May with Telecom Decision 2026-83. The CRTC decided to maintain the interim revenue-percent charge at 0.11% for 2026.

In our previous release notes, we stated that we believed Uruguay's reduced rate of 13% had lapsed, since no extension decrees had been issued at the time of our last publication. We also stated that we would monitor for reimpositions or last-minute extensions. Several days after our publication ran, an extension decree was issued, so we have re-established the old rate structure in this publication. The new sunset date of the 13% rate has been set to September 30, 2026.

Effective June 1, 2026, there are local sales, use, and rental tax changes within the cities of Tuscumbia and Dadeville. Additional change notices for June 1 were released after our publication ran, and those changes will be included in our next publication.
In order to accommodate our Sales Tax Holiday content, we have made changes to our AL sales and use tax rate structure. These changes should not impact results, and primarily involve a reduction in the variety of Tax Type Reference values used for county sales and use taxes. Please review our rate change report for details of all these changes.

Effective June 1, 2026, the city of Chignik has joined the Alaska Remote Sellers Sales Tax Commission (ARSSTC).

In this publication, we have added the job printing classification to our Arizona TPT coverage.

Effective June 1, 2026, emergency telephone charge fees have been changed by several Colorado 911 authorities. Additionally, the Ouray County 911 Authority has merged into the Montrose 911 Authority. Our rate change report contains the full list of fee changes.

Effective May 1, 2026, the Idaho regulatory fee rate has decreased from 0.2223% to 0.2091%.

Effective June 1, 2026, the City of Mark has added a city electricity excise tax. Please review our rate change report for the tier-specific fee amounts.

Effective May 1, 2026, the Maine annual regulatory assessment fees have been updated. The telecom assessment rate has increased from 0.4612% to 0.5763%, the electricity assessment rate has decreased from 1.5166% to 1.3313%, and the natural gas assessment rate has decreased from 0.9238% to 0.8529%.

Similar to our work in Alabama, we have made changes to some sales and use tax records' Tax Type Reference values in Missouri in order to facilitate the addition of our Sales Tax Holiday content. These changes should not impact calculation results.

Effective June 1, 2026, Chemung County has enacted an exemption for residential energy from sales and use. This exemption will last through November 30, 2026.

Effective June 1, 2026, the Ohio Telecom Relay Service (TRS) surcharge has increased. Please review our rate change report to understand the details of this change.

In this publication, we have added the printing and publishing classification to our Washington B&O tax coverage. During this research, we also discovered that the city of Algona increased its B&O tax rates for all categories from 0.045% to 0.1% effective January 1, 2026. This change is still not reflected on the rate sheet published by the Association of Washington Cities, but it is well-supported by city documentation.
Effective June 1, 2026, the City of Mill Creek has enacted local utility taxes at a rate of 5% for telecommunications, electricity, and natural gas, including a brokered natural gas use tax for deregulated sellers.
