Why am I being charged sales tax on my subscription?
Source - http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg...?p_faqid=14659
QUESTION Why am I being charged sales tax on my subscription?  Answer Electronic Arts will be charging local and sales tax for Ultima Online subscriptions beginning on June 26, 2007. The reason for this is many U.S. states are implementing taxes on online subscriptions. The tax calculation will be handled on the back-end using a system provided to us by Vertex. Please Note: This Tax implementation began on January 29th, 2008. The tax will be assessed on applicable accounts starting on this date. The tax is only for customers with a U.S. or Canada billing address and will not affect APO customers. Tax will be calculated by zip code. Before you can finalize a subscription, you will be shown what is listed as the "estimated tax". This is listed as an estimate only for legal reasons. It is in fact the actual amount to be billed. United States

Re: Why am I being charged sales tax on my subscription?
Well no escape for us Canadians, unless we decide to move south of the border. Damn I feel sorry for those in NF, NB, NS and Ontario... 14%??? That's crazy. I wonder if they're basing this on the GST (Gov't) or PST (provincial)?

I hope MA passes that legislation that would get rid of this for me.
