    Tax


    Hi,

    i am trying to buy a game for $99 on xbox.com and im in uk. I googled $99 and it translates to approx £61. I thought this was a good deal.

    So then I go ahead purchasing the game. But when i go to complete the transaction it says $99 and tax. How much is the tax?

    :)

    Where did you preorder your Xbox One from, and why?

    Amazon, no taxes! I can almost buy a game for the tax savings. Taxes here a 9.25%

    Well it depends what state you live in...but you say you are in the UK. If this is true, I recommend that you purchase content from the GB store.

    So, you try to buy something from an AMERICAN store only to get charged for the appropriate currency. I see no problem here.

    Any resident living within the European Union who purchases something from a country outside of the EU would be paying Value Added Tax as well as Customs/Excise Duty based on their specific region. Unfortunately, the only way to know that would be to look
    up your area's VAT and Customs Duty charge before making your purchase. If the item you're purchasing is a digital store item rather than a physical disc, I don't know if Customs applies (since that usually only applies to physical items that need to be searched/verified.)
    I do think, though, that some areas area beginning to charge Customs Duties on digital downloads as well.

    Not having purchased something that way, I can't say how it gets charged to you, but if it goes like it does here in the States, the cost of the taxes are calculated based on your location and added to the purchase price of your item. So, if you look up
    what the tax rates are in your area for those things, then add them to the $99, that should give you a close ballpark of what you would pay total.

    Taxes

    Taxes vary from place to place. You'd have to check how much tax is in your area.

    It will depend on what state you are or region you should try to see if they charge you taxes

    Tax

    It is regional, and in some regions it can be more specific, such as in the US some states require digital sales tax while others do not, so it can vary quite a bit. If you initiate the purcahse, prior to the last confirm, it should mention if there is
    tax included and you can see it from there with the full price of the purcahse. You can check that and decide before full confirmation if you want to purcahse the title or not.

    Tax

    That will depend solely on where you live. Some countries charge sales tax on digital purchases, while others do not. Even in a single country, some regions charge that tax, and others do not. Your best bet is to contact your country/region's department
    of revenue or taxation and ask if they charge sales taxes on such purchases.

    That said, if you attempt the purchase with your gift card and it asks for another payment method to pay off the rest, that would answer your question, as well. You can always back out of the purchase before you confirm it, of course.
