Pretty sure I have been getting taxed already here in MD, not 100 percent sure though

Nah live in Maryland as well and have not been taxed for purchases.

 

[RRockman]

Nooooooooooo!!!!

My last Tax haven has fallen.

I remember when Amazon started taxing and that sucked too.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Does this affect Canada?

Asking the important questions.

 

[Verelios]

Fuck.That.

End of an era

 

[Nanashrew]

Just got an email myself. I live in Texas

 

[Deleted member 284]

So what does that mean for my Canadian and US account? I am from Germany where the tax is always included.

Digital Customs. Make Germany Great Again!

 

[Son Of Sparda]

That will depend on what State you put on your account. Like $60 + 8% tax (NY) = 64.8 total instead of the usual $60

Of course, if taxes is really coming.

Ah, I just checked and it is actually NY. I haven't received any emails so hopefully the taxes aren't coming lol

Additionally, if NY gets hit by taxes, can I change my state to somewhere else that charges less?

 

[Deadly Joker]

No email here in South Carolina about starting to charge sales tax.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

All going towards improving PSN services, right?

.... right?

Jesus Christ.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

God damn it. I never got taxed for PSN purchases, but I mostly will since I get taxed for Amazon purchases. I'm in New York.

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Just got my email, I live in TX.

 

[atomsk]

added the other reported states to the OP

 

[DriftingSpirit]

VA, plz.

 

[Hexa]

VA, plz.

Did you get an email? I haven't yet. Was hoping we were safe for now.

 

[Fat4all]

Just out of curiosity, if you use a PSN pre-paid card, do you get taxed on the card purchase, and/or do you get taxed on purchases using the gift card? I recently bought something with PSN credit and I did not pay tax. I live in South Carolina.

My state doesn't charge taxes for PSN cards in stores I don't think.

Same for gift cards to places like Starbucks and the like.

I think Visa gift cards are taxed, tho.

Do you have any concept at all what taxes are or how they work?

 

[Vuze]

Welcome to the rest of the digital shopping world

Also I think my US located... brother... will move to a no-tax/low-tax for digital goods state soon. 🤔

 

[Thorrgal]

Ok so it seems there in Kansas there's no tax. I checked the law and it says Canned Software only. Digital products and Custom Software are exempt. Plus I didn't get an email

 

[Rembrandt]

Doesn't Xbox charge tax on digital purchases already?

Is this how it's on Xbox as well?

#XboxToo

 

[Mattakuevan]

In a lot of states a "digital good" is exempt from sales tax. This probably wont extend to all states unless that changes.

Eh nothing can be done about this.

 

[Kyrios]

Dammit, they caught up to us!

Ah well, was only a matter of time living in NJ...

 

[TVexperto]

Didnt get this in Germany what does this mean

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Thank goodness I live in Delaware. NO TAX EVER!

 

[schwabdizzle]

I think it varies by State. I am in Missouri and I didn't receive it.

 

[Strider_Blaze]

Didn't get an email yet myself, so I'm good for now.

Live in California.

 

[EmilioLargo]

Because in Germany it's nothing new. You already pay tax (vat) with your purchases on german psn.

 

[DaveTheSnake]

Digital purchases aren't taxable in CA still.

Thank God.

 

[fernoca]

Puerto Rico...no email...yet!

 

[Lexad]

Wait nvm I think they already tax here in Washington.
Not sure tho....

Not when I bought horizon on sunday

 

[molnizzle]

Guys.

This has nothing to do with PSN.

PSN only charges tax in states that require it. If the laws in your state change, PSN will change to reflect them. That's it.

 

[Vuze]

Didnt get this in Germany what does this mean

You're already paying VAT. Doesn't matter to you if you don't buy from the US store

 

[Suburban Thug]

Looks like I will be buying less from sony

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Nyc is a given heh lol

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

[Uno Venova]

Yeah that's going to affect me ever purchasing games on PSN v Amazon, first the PS Plus hike and now this. Ehhhh.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Im in NYC and i dont see that we get taxed on digital stuff at all. So hope that doesnt change anytime soon.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Not in Pennsylvania so far.

 

[SonicAaron]

Awesome.

Tired of subsidising cheap US store prices with sky high prices in the U.K.

Time for you guys to pull your weight

 

[Fbh]

Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and New Hampshire have no sales tax.

Florida sales tax is 6%.

Delaware it is then

Post of the thread tbh.

 

[Stealthcobra]

Yeah Sony is going to put that money into servers instead of paying to the U.S. government.

In other news Wesley Snipes was recently hired by Sony Entertainment.

Lol ahh poor wesley.. But good one lol

 

[Rellik]

My US account is in CA so I should be good.
