o I just bought Angry Birds in the App store and I got my receipt in my inbox, but when I looked at it I say that there was a G.S.T./H.S.T. tax of 15 cents! Since when did Apple start applying taxes to their apps? Is this the same for everything in the Apple store now as well?
 
Apple has always charged tax for apps, songs, etc.

Some states charge tax on apps because they're considered software or something like that

I live in California and I've never been taxed on anything from the iTunes store, sort of ironic considering our state has the biggest debt of all of them so taxing iTunes purchases would be something they'd do
 
I received a prepaid $50 rebate card from Samsung and the billing address is in Illinois (compared to where I live in Florida) and there's no way to change it. Consequently, I get charged tax for app purchases and if my billing address was here, I wouldn't.
