Industry Ruling is "mixed blessing"

[Evil Chris]

You should pay taxes based on where you live. Your residence.
That's how it works up here anyhow.

In the US it's a little more complicated - generally it's based on where the company is domiciled - so for instance Dell is in Texas, so if you were in Texas you would pay taxes on a purchase and generally if you are outside Texas and they ship to you it would not carry sales tax - unfortunately, Dell has a distribution center in Florida too, so if I order here in Florida I do pay sales tax...
