Yep, Steam does charge tax, and it's all about where you live. Different places have different rules when it comes to digital goods, so the tax you see at checkout is based on your local laws. It's like how shopping in a physical store works, but for your digital game haul.

Short answer: Yes, taxes apply on Steam purchases, depending on your region. Bought a game last week and saw the tax added during checkout. Always a bit of a surprise!

Not everywhere! Depends on your local tax laws. Some places skate by without it.
