B4d4ssHunt4r Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I just got an email from Sony saying this: Hello valued PlayStation customer, We are writing to inform you that PlayStation®Store, including all services such as PlayStation Vue, PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now, and PlayStation Music, will start collecting tax in your state starting April 1, 2017.

TigressLion Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) As long as it's the States and it's not implemented on each individual game, just services. I'd be fine with it. Nvm, misread. I only buy flash sale items, so for me, taxes would be like 1$ extra. Yeah its shitty, but only a dollar.

Gage Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 It's only in specific states where required, not everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelboy10 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Now a PS Plus membership is going to cost a little more extra money. As if 60 dollars isn't already enough for them. Well since it depends on which state we live in then I guess it won't be all bad. Edited March 3, 2017 by marvelboy10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted March 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2017 I really hope Sony won't implement this in EU. Adding 21% of tax is a pretty huge price increase. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 So how would buying digital psn cards work? so they will start taxing the cards at store like best buy? and when we enter it you only get the card value? and when we buy a game we get taxed again!? 1 minute ago, ratchetdude231 said: Oh thank god I live in Georgia.

Katt Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) "this fucking shit has no name" I'm pissed off to the core. Maybe I'll switch to XBOX ONE sometime in the future. I'm not saying that just for the taxes. Edited March 3, 2017 by RemiXounD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordguwa Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 i agree that it is FTL, oregon and montana have no sales tax with online psn so its all good (i wont be affected). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Good luck with that, because it's every digital store. Amazon, PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, etc. You can only be in non-compliance with the law for so long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav9834 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Ya the states got a hold of them just like what Amazon went through a 5-6? years ago(and still going through). They may eat the tax and pass it back to the developers or pass it to the consumer(to keep the prices the same). But doesn't effect me, mwahaha no digital tax in CT! Yet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Europe the tax is already included in the price, does my head in visiting the US and the price at the till is more than the price on the label due to adding tax at the till rather than just include it in the price.

bmakar83 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Could have sworn that I've already been getting taxed for as long as I can remember. It's annoying but that's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's many other things you can thank our Lord Dampnuts about, but more taxes likely won't be more of them. Republicans like to do things like cut down the available tax income pool, increase spending on defense, then wonder why the deficit is skyrocketing and blame it on the opposition. Also, taxes are levied at the behest of Congress, not the President. That's Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Go back and retake your high school class on American Government if you need to. Taxing digital goods has been something brewing out in the open for a long time if you've bothered to pay attention.

There has been sales tax on XBOX digital purchases for a while now (think a couple of years) so switching won't do you any good. Just like the new changes to PSN, it is on a state-by-state basis so some might not be impacted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'm not happy about this, I'm pretty sure this also happened on Xbox Live sometime last year so I'm not surprised.
