Why is that?

[AlmightyDunkle]

Not as trustworthy and I guess it may put a screw in steams business?

I doubt anyone here will give you a proper answer. Most people avoid *that* website.

Yes, tax evasion. You can be arrested, fined and jail time.

It's not a European tax, it's tax in general. Unlike the US our tax on products is included in the listing price(VAT). It's by law that we're shown the total price of a product including the tax as it's shown to us.

In the US or sites that operate from the US with very little in way of commerce outside of the US(Newegg for example) they will not display the tax of a product until you check out and are a step from providing your details to pay for the product. I got quite a shock when I tried to purchase hardware from Newegg's EU portal to see the tax added at the bottom of my order just as I was about to pay and even more of a shock when I found out(At the time) they did not ship from Europe which meant import tax on top of the real price of the product(Product price + tax) which could be an extra €100 I would have to pay.

OP, you'll be taxed regardless according to your location(Short of using a VPN). Switching to the US portal will obide by US customs which is adding any tax or VAT to the price of the product AFTER you've put everything in your cart and are about to purchase it. The prices will not be shown until this point.

It should be noted that some states in the US do not charge tax on digital products, apparently. One state, Washington, does charge tax on products. If this has changed I'm not fully aware of it but I wouldn't be surprised if it has and the laws have caught up(In Europe the laws were changed to cover digital goods about five years ago).

The OP's profile says China. Not only would it be tax evasion, but I am sure a few other laws would be broken as well.

He mentioned he was Danish or something along those lines.

The website should default to the tax requirements of his or her country by default. The only way this person could bypass the tax process is if he used a VPN to purchase outside of his country.

Well, i guess i'm getting arrested then.
Just bought a game ;(
