[DempseyRoll]

I bought chaos rings and chaos rings omega which is both 8.99$ .. but my itunes credit was deducted by 9.60$ ( not sure but it is 8.99$ more) for each games.. so instead of the 18$ to spend. i spent 20$.

am i doing something wrong? any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The tax is 5-10 cents per dollar. So a 99 cent game would be either 1.04 or 1.09, then a 1.99 game would be a 2.14 game or a 2.19 game and so on. Something like that.

Np, but it really starts to scale up the higher you go.

It depends where you live (which country, state, etc.). Some people get taxed on games but not music, some people on music but not games, some both, some neither.

I don't get taxed (Australian AppStore).
