Why was I charged a local sales tax?
A sales tax is a consumption tax on the sale of goods and services. In many countries, this tax must be paid where the product is consumed, just like if you bought the top-up from a store in that country.
If the country you are sending your top-up to applies a sales tax, you will see it when selecting the top-up amount and in the order summary.
