    Double Taxed on Expansion Pass


    (First off, I'm not altogether sure where else to post this, so I apologize if this is inappropriate.)

    I bought the Destiny Expansion Pass at Gamestop for $35+tax = $37.19 (USD)

    I redeem the 25-digit code for ... $35. Ok, so it was a glorified gift card....

    I go to the Expansion Pass in the Store and download it. It costs $35 + tax = $36.17

    Why? I don't care that the tax happens to be at different rates, I want to know why was I taxed on both the "gift card" and the expansion pass? Was it because the "gift card" was advertized as something more substantial than a gift card, and thus it could
    actually be taxed?

    Seriously, help me understand this.

    :)

    Double Taxed on purchases

    I was just taxed twice by buying the Destiny Expansion Pass thru GameStop. The GameStop website, and the emailed invoice, said I purchased a download code; $35.00 plus tax. However, when I redeemed the code, I was credited only $35.00, and when I purchased
    the Pass I was charged $34.99 plus tax. So, after being in contact with both GameStop and Microsoft, it seems GameStop was only selling a gift card for the amount that would cover the Destiny Expansion Pass purchase; not a direct download code. So is this
    legal to charge tax on the Live Currency (a gift card)? And as the Microsoft Support suggested why would you ever buy a gift card or Live Currency (especially from GameStop), when you should just purchase everything via the Market Place?

    Double Taxed on Expansion Pass

    Its horrible marketing! Most(maybe all) of the Xbox cards you can buy for downloads are really just decorated gift cards. It has always seemed a little deceptive to me.

    Destiny Season Pass

    The price for the Destiny Expansion Pass is $34.99 USD + applicable taxes. The reason you are being asked for another payment method is because the total price (Content + taxes) surpasses the amount on your account, $35.00 USD.

    Being Taxed Twice To Buy Something on the Marketplace

    the Destiny website, to purchase the Expansion Pass, to the Microsoft Store is broken, so only the GameStop option is available.
