So today I made a purchase as I normally do and realized that it charged me 5.24$ instead of the 4.99$. This has never been the case before. Why the change?

    Are you Canadian? New laws were passed in July about taxing online purchases.

    State Sales Tax....

    Your payment processor (Google Play/Apple App Store) is responsible for collecting taxes in various states.

    If this is the first time, it sound like an updated law got enacted in your state requiring them to add sales tax to online purchases.
