There's tax on apps?

[Primejimbo]

I find it strange how some things are taxed from iTunes and some aren't. Some movies/TV shows/music I buy aren't taxed but sometimes they are.

Could have swore android store was taxed too? I seem to remember paying sales tax when I had my droid 2 years ago?

Apple has always charged taxes here as well on the iTunes Store. What bugged me was the raising of song prices from .99 to $1.29

charge you that extra 7% tax ? thats kind of rediculous who does it go to

To make me feel better about this line, please tell me you're just a kid. You're not an adult right?

are you kidding me ? in google play you pay 99 cents its NINTY-NINE cents not a dollar+.06

I was going to give you a serious answer to your question, but then I realised that you are probably just trolling anyway.

are you kidding me ? in google play you pay 99 cents its NINTY-NINE cents not a dollar+.06, what does that even accomplish. so if you pay a 25$ app like the big cloud/ office apps will it charge you that extra 7% tax ? thats kind of rediculous who does it go to and why does android not require it but iOS does ?

I haven't experienced this yet. When I get my iTunes receipts it says 0.99 total. Never saw anything about taxes on my receipts.

Subsequently, we have the highest use tax reporting rate at around 10% of tax filers: http://www.governing.com/blogs/by-the-numbers/state-use-tax-collection-revenues.html Nationally it is like 1.6% of taxpayers declare use taxes.

Woo Hoo, I've always paid my use tax, I'm a 1.6 Percenter, and I never even knew it.

Where have these people been?

Just for the record, I think that sales tax on software is an utter rip-off because according to every EULA I've ever seen, you don't own the software, just a license to use it.
