Telecom Tax Rate Downloads

The Utah State Tax Commission has developed a downloadable Taxing Jurisdiction Database for use in identifying the taxing jurisdictions in which service is provided for determining Municipal Telecommunications License Tax (MTLT) and E-911 fees.

This file includes taxing jurisdictions in Utah and should only be used to determine those taxing jurisdictions based on your customers’ zip + 4 billing address. Use the data to identify those jurisdictions in which you provide service to, based on the customers primary address. Also included in the downloadable file is a README.TXT file for an explanation of the data file and the database format.

To utilize this data, match your customers to their taxing jurisdictions using the zip+4 code as a composite key field. The special tax district codes correspond to taxing jurisdictions.
