January 17, 2006 (Press Release) --
TeleManage Training to Host Telecom Federal Excise Tax Refund Online Event
Session will Feature Nation’s Top Telecommunications Lawyer
Indianapolis, IN – TeleManage Training, the leading provider of world-class telecom management, will host a free online session titled “Recovering Your Telecom Federal Excise Tax Refund” on Thursday, February 2, 2006 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
The 30-minute online event will discuss a brief history of the Federal Excise Tax (FET) and recent court rulings which may exempt cellular phones, Internet phone service and about one-third of long distance calls from the 3 percent federal tax. This could mean billions due in refunds, and larger companies with sizeable international phone bills could recoup as much as $1 million or more.
The session will also cover steps for calculating FET refund amounts and filing claims, and discuss resources for recovering refund amounts. The session will feature Andrew D. Lipman, Vice Chairman of Swidler Berlin LLP, who was also recently named the nation’s Top Telecommunications Lawyer by the Legal Media Group. Also moderating the event is Glenn Miller, a partner in Swidler Berlin's Tax/ERISA Practice Group and Timothy Colwell, Vice-President of Knowledge Operations at TeleManage Training.
“We’re pleased to offer this informative session on such an important topic for many telecom professionals. Many have heard about the possibility of refunds, but don’t know what steps to take, or what their organizations may be entitled to,” said Tim Lybrook, TeleManage Training President & CEO. “We also couldn’t be happier to have Andrew Lipman and Glenn Miller as our featured speakers for the event. Their expertise and recent experiences with FET refunds are sure to provide a very worthwhile and enlightening session for those who attend.”
Registration for the free online event is required, and interested persons may register online at www.telemanagetraining.com.
