Er, so I came back to the game after awhile, and decided to shell out cash for Episode 3.

While paying, I noticed… 5% tax for British Columbia.

It’s not much, but why on earth is this?

– Canada has no taxes on digital items.

– The whole microtransaction thing is based upon the idea of donation, which by definition is not taxed.

– Your Buy BP page even says that our purchase is a donation.

I mean, it’s true that you could argue that we are purchasing the service of maintaining this game from CZ rather than buying digital items and therefore Canadians need to be charged GST, but why oh why choose to give our money to the government =/
