If your state has a sales tax you will get charged if not no taxes are charged.

I live in a state with sales tax, but I've never been taxed on content I purchase from PSN.

I noticed the other day that while I had bought a 10.00 PSN card a month or so ago, now they were listed at $25.00 for a 20.00 PSN card.

And all the games/DLC stuff was gone. Someone thought it was because of some promo that was going on that day where the GOLD BOX stuff was all games related, but apparently not.

This sucks as often they would have PSN stuff for cheaper than it was on the store.

Amazon removes PSN codes and vouchers, declares Playstation Network products "currently unavailable."

Amid all of the recent troubles with Sony’s PlayStation Network, one alternative to the that many users chose to explore was purchasing PSN codes and other content via Amazon instead of storing their credit card information on the hacked network. Now it looks like that workaround may no longer be an option, as PSN points, game vouchers, and other digital goods have been pulled from the online retailer’s website.

The disappearance of all things PSN from Amazon was first noticed by PSN Stores, who noted that the Amazon.com PSN site once contained over 500 pieces of content, but now shows a blank page. Individual pages for downloadable games show the titles as “Currently unavailable” and state, “We don’t know when or if this item will be available again.”

As PSN Stores points out, such wholesale removals are not uncommon — there was a similar purge of 3DS products in July — but given Sony’s recent troubles with the PSN, there’s reason to believe this could be Sony’s way of bringing users back to the network.

“We have no announcements regarding this change in selection, however we can confirm that Amazon Digital Video Game Downloads is not currently offering Playstation Network Online Game Codes and Points Cards,” an Amazon rep told the site.

The reason they pulled all psn stuff boils down to taxes, Sony when they made the change to SNEA stopped charging sales taxes on purchases on the PSN in places they used too. However, since Amazon would be considered the acting seller of the content not Sony they would have to collect the sales tax on these items when sold due to Sony no longer doing so.

I thought it was weird none of my PSN purchases lately had taxes on them.
