First purchase via iTunes
I just made my first purchase via iTunes Store. I have received a couple of gift cards.
I noticed I was charged tax. The tax amount equals to about 12%. The app is $2.99 tax is $0.36 and $3.35 for the final total.
I did not receive an email from Apple regarding the purchase. I am in BC so either GST should be charged or both PST and GST.
Furthermore, by Federal Law, the merchant or business MUST quote their GST registration number on the bill of sale or invoice otherwise there is no way the consumer knows that the merchant is in fact forwarding the GST to the Feds. I imagine Apple is doing this, but there is no proof.
