Special Pay-in-Advance Discount/Tax Write-off December 2025
Pay your 2026 answering service charges in advance and receive a 3% discount.
Many of our clients will use this opportunity to claim an extra tax deduction for 2025 (but please consult with your tax advisor).
Here’s how it works:
- Email me and ask for a quote. My address is teresaa@centratel.com
- I will review your last several invoices and estimate your total charges for 2026. I will then notify you by email of these estimated total charges for 2026.
- Send us a check or provide ACH details for that amount before 12/31/2025 (in addition to the regular charges on your 12/1/2025 invoice).
Credit card payments are not accepted.
Example:
12/01/25 invoice, regular billing = $600.00
Estimated 12 months of service in 2026 = $7,200.00
Total to send: $7,800 ($600 for December 1st billing + $7,200 estimated for 2026)
On your 1/1/2026 invoice, in addition to your regular January charges, you will see a credit on your account for $7,200 plus a separate credit for the 3% discount (in this case, $216.00).
Through 2026, as we bill your account for regular monthly charges, your credit balance will decrease with each monthly invoice. Note: Since your payment in advance is an estimate – your monthly charges could vary depending on your usage in 2026 – it is possible that the credit may expire a month or two before, or after, the end of 2026.
If you should cease service for any reason in 2026, we will refund the balance of your credit but will charge a $200.00 pay-in-advance cancellation fee. We will also add back the 3% discount amount.
To take advantage of this opportunity, your account must be current. The discount only applies to amounts paid in advance, and the payment must be at least one year’s service (you may pay more than one year if you wish – you will receive the 3% credit on the entire amount). We must receive your advance check payment by 12/31/2025.
If you have questions please email or call me (1-800-639-1818). My office hours are 7am-3pm PST (10am-6pm, EST). This letter is posted online at www.centratel.com/discount.
Thank you for your business! We wish you a peaceful and prosperous 2026!

Billing Manager
