  - These sorts of things *are* taxed. But at the state level. Chicago has taken the additional step of taxing it locally as well. -- nm - ML Jul 2, 07:41 1

  - if you buy the card at a store, you are paying tax on it. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 07:40
- Sounds like it would be a tax on the purchase of the Xbox Live card and then a tax on the streaming services that you use. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 2, 07:26

- And this is a tax on a service that is delivered via the Internet, not your Internet itself. - ty97 Jul 2, 07:18 3
  - Makes sense but it still feels wrong. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 07:26
