Why do I have to get taxed twice on PSN cards!

Ok I bought a 20 dollar PSN card from GameStop and they taxed me 7% due to new jersey state law which i understand, but when I want to buy something from the PS Store I am taxed again.

Because of where you live and all that jazz. Just wait till they start taxing coffee,...twice!:o

Weird, PSN cards are tax free in Canada...

Huh psn cards charge tax? So i wouldnt be able to buya $20 psn card and get two $9.99 arcade games???

It depends which state you're in, but yes, some charge tax for PSN card purchases :( It should show you when you go to purchase an item / game.

Thats not right all game cards is tax free. Even mmo ones. I live in Hawaii if your wondering.

Hah im in PA and its always tax free. so when you buy your game it taxes it in the PSN store? well then change where you live then?

They tax you as you're making the purchase on PSN, otherwise you'd end up taxed twice like TC.

I get taxed for buying PSN cards, but not when I buy stuff online. That's why I just use my credit card most of the time.

I'm in South Dakota and PSN cards are tax free over here. $20.00 or $50.00 flat. I've never been charged more than that.Superzone

Chicago/ Green Bay same here. I only pay tax on PSN, the card purchase is tax free... stinks in Jersey, I guess. Sorry, m'friend!

That's not right. You do not get taxed for PSN card when you purchase it in the store since you will get taxed when you enter the card code on your PS3.

I would contact Sony directly and talk to them.

Sounds more to me that the place you're buying it from it scamming people. Unless others are correct and your state has it as a law, which I'm hard pressed to believe.

Contact Sony directly, keep your receive and get the facts. You should not be taxed on PSN cards when you purchase them in your local stores since you get taxed during online activation..

I live in New Jersey and the cards are tax free. I think someone screwed something up. Here are some NJ tax guidelines for this subject. http://www.olivierandassociates.com/images/NJ_Sales_Tax_Guide_Bulletin_S_U-4_0503.pdf

You got jipped. It's BS to pay tax for it. We have GST and PST (or ahem HST) online.

Gamestop charges no tax at all. I don't think Walmart does, but I've never bought one there either. Best Buy does like to set their own rules and their own prices. Before games got jacked up everywhere, Best Buy was charging $69.99 while everywhere else in Ontario was $49.99 and $59.99.

Hmmm based on previous responses, is it possible to trick your system into thinking you live somewhere which doesn't tax? Or does it just go by your IP address?

I live in Ohio and of course they tax everything.
