Odd.  I just ordered my physical copy and didn't pay any tax at all. I live in British Columbia . . .

Just last week, I heard that the US Senate passed a bill that requires retailers to charge state sales tax for online sales, but I hadn't heard that it passed the House, nor have I heard that Mr. Obama signed it.  So, perhaps those of you who've been charged tax have probably been charged prematurely? Is it state sales tax, or the EU's VAT you've been charged?
