Too Much Tax Charged

Microsoft collects whatever your city/local/state government dictates them to collect. So whatever your sales tax is for the area in which you reside, is the same as what Microsoft collects.

Hi there Himrmcme, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

In this situation, I recommend using the tool provided by Microsoft so that you can investigate for yourself the information of the account with which the purchase was made through the following procedure:

1. Log in with your Microsoft account (it doesn't matter if it's not the account used for the purchase) at the following link:

https://account.microsoft.com/billing/payments

2. Under "Don't recognize a charge on your bank statement?" click on "Investigate".

3. From the list, choose the card with which the charges appeared and enter the CVV if prompted. If you haven't added the card where the charges are being made, you'll need to add it to proceed with this process.

4. This will allow you to see all transactions made with this payment method even if they were made by another user on their own account. Click on the transaction that matches the amount on your card to see more details.

5. If a different account from the one you are currently logged into made the purchase, the partially censored email address of that account will appear. This should be enough for you to know which account the charges are associated with. If it is an account you own, simply log in and request a refund through the following link:

https://support.xbox.com/forms/request-a-refund

If you do not recognize the Microsoft account used for the purchase, it will be necessary to contact your bank/financial institution to report this charge as fraudulent.

Please keep in mind that in this public forum, we are just fellow players like you, trying to help other players. This means we do not have access to any accounts or information about other users.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.

It depends on if they charge you taxes on your purchase too.

Microsoft make zero, zip, nada, nix, nothing, from tax, your government does. They also have no say in what taxes you may be charged or how much that tax is, your government does. They have no control over this, your government
does.
