Since December 1, 2009, a municipal tax has been collected by land line and cell phone companies, by means of a $0.40 monthly fee added to their bills. This tax is turned over to Revenu Québec, which transfers a portion to the Agence municipale de financement et de développement des centres d'urgence 9-1-1 du Québec.

This means that all telephone service subscribers (land line, cell phone and internet) help fund the system. For pre-paid wireless services, the tax is collected by the service provider once a month for each number.

The municipal 9-1-1 tax is subject to the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Quebec Sales Tax (QST).
