I'm in Canada, in a province where HST applies to local purchases (the single Harmonized Sales Tax incorporating GST), but when I buy a book from Kobo I get charged HST and GST. I can't figure that one out, but the total tax is the same percentage as if I bought a paper book locally. It seems as if they are splitting the price into two components which get taxed in different jurisdictions.
