Telecommunications companies will see a slight increase in the percentage of end-user revenue they must contribute to the Universal Service Fund (USF).
In a public notice Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission’s Office of Managing Director announced that the universal service contribution factor for the second quarter of 2025 will be 36.6 percent, up slightly from 36.3 percent in the first quarter.
The updated tax will go into effect on April 1, impacting wireless carriers, long-distance providers, and other telecommunications companies.
