How do I know if I've paid more than the maximum tax?
  • Ask yourself, "Did I pay more than $1,000 in UUT (or more than $20,000 in utility charges) for any one of the taxed utilities (electric, gas, telephone or cable television) in a UUT Year?"
  • Compile your utility bills for the 12-month period of September 1st through August 31st.
  • Make sure to separate bills and taxes paid:
    • Per utility
    • Per user
    • Per contiguous location
  • Add the UUT paid portion from these bills separately. If any one exceeds $1,000 you may be entitled to a refund.
