ISPs complain that listing every fee is too hard, urge FCC to scrap new rule

To put this as an example of why your logic doesn't work: it would mean that an utility bill is just a bill if paid to Comcast or Pacific Gas, but a tax if paid to a publicly-owned utility like LADWP for exactly the same services.

A bill isn't a tax just because it's a bill from the government.

Royalty != bill. When I pay the DMV to get replacement license plates, that's likewise not a tax just because the DMV is the government.
