That’s exactly what American phone carriers do:  They enumerate the bill, then they add a specific line item for each additional tax, duty and tariff imposed by State and Federal governments, so the consumer can see the impact of Government policy on their phone bills.

It amazes me that Australian carriage service providers don’t do the same thing.
