other than the current combined tax rate.

If you have multiple rates to report - From Line 8a, 
determine the net gross charges that are subject to tax 
at each of the multiple rates. Multiply each amount by the 
appropriate tax rate and add the sum of all tax and write the 
total on Line 8b. 
Line 9 - Add Lines 7b and 8b. This is your total tax due for

You may not take a credit that is greater than the tax owed. 
You may also take a credit against the tax that is owed if 
you paid tax on services you purchased and resold from a 
telecommunication retailer.
