Homefromtheforest Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi, I just placed an order from an online Japanese music website and they are asking me to pay the Japanese tax on my order. I live in Canada and in all the years I've ordered from Japanese vendors I've never had to pay the Japanese tax...has their exemption laws changed? As far as I know only Japanese residents have to pay the tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are called "Darumaya"Yeah it's a bit shady for sure...even though it only works out to an extra $20 or so I think on principle I'm going to cancel my order and not deal with them again.

Homefromtheforest Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Yeah that's the one, but the issue is the fact they want to charge tax on foreign orders!I've ordered from them for over 10 years...1st time they have asked for tax too...stupid!

clifford_thornton Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 they have nice stuff at reasonable prices. Even adding $20 over a whole order shouldn't be a deal-breaker. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 For me it's the principle; it's not cool to all of a sudden collect a tax that should not be collected unless there's been some change in the law. But I understand your point too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 To reference the *GREAT* Samuel L. Jackson, I don't know what's in YOUR wallet, but I ain't giving nobody NO $20.00 out of mine just for kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 On the other hand, if you can save money in spite of the $20, what do you do? Righteous indignation doesn't pay the rent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
