I was wondering if there is a sales tax when adding funds from a gift card into my steam wallet because I found a gift card lying around with exactly $5.00 and I was wondering if I could add it to my steam wallet? Thanks.
If it's anything like the PSN prepaid cards then no, there shouldn't be taxes or any deductible for that matter. What you have on the card will go towards your wallet funds. Also, I've never been charged with taxes when purchasig on PSN or Steam either.
I don't mean prepaid cards I mean from the steam client
When I add money to my steam wallet I get charge the amount that I want to put into it. Say I want $20 in my steam wallet. I am then charged $20 to my checking account. I am not sure if it works the same way when using Paypal or other services like it.
Depends on your local taxes but even then taxes shouldn't kick in until you buy something off of steam.
No tax on topping up your Steam wallet.
You will only pay tax when you purchase a game, and at least here the steam price includes domestic tax.
btw/fyi if you buy from the russian site you get normally around 50% off. :) you do so by adding /?cc=ru at the end of the webpage (first close your steam app and do this in browser) you can only pay with card or paypal that way (not your USD or EUR wallet) but it is worth the money (i think). To revert/undo it just say /?cc=[your country(ex. us; de; uk; au)]
