Thanks all who replied. Yes in fact it is "ayo"-ending one, and i do have others in the very same location and this doesn't happen at all. Matter handed over to legal team. cheers /Nuno On Wed, 2020-10-14 at 16:58 -0700, Robert L Mathews wrote:

Company Z charges company A on top of agreed services:
It may be just a coincidence, but I had the same problem with a company that begins with "Z" (and ends with "ayo").
The quote I got was for a certain exact dollar amount with some tiny boilerplate-looking text that says they may pass on any taxes. Since I've used several providers in the same buildings who have never mentioned any taxes, I ignored it.
When the actual bill came, it was 8% higher due to absurd things like "property tax surcharge". This is simply a fee they charge to cover their own property taxes. The other extras were similar.
These are not taxes they are required to charge you separately. They're just adding money to the bill to get you to contribute towards *their* taxes. I complained long and hard about it, but they didn't care.
