There are four CDs on iTunes that I'm planning to buy this Friday. Those CDs bring the subtotal to "$39.96 + applicable sales tax". They conveniently don't tell you what the applicable sales tax is until you buy it.
The problem is I don't own a credit or debit card. All of my purchases on iTunes are made with the prepaid cards. I plan on buying a $30 and $15 card, but I'd be really pissed if I bought those and the total of the CDs came to be over $45.
So, does anybody know how much tax they'd add on to a $39.96 order on iTunes?

Unless your sales tax rate is obscenely high (more than 10%), you're fine with $45. And yeah, I'm pretty sure it's done using your local tax rate.

So does it go by the zip code on my IP or on the credit card I use? Because if it's the former, I'm only gonna order music when I'm home. Silly sales tax here. I had to get used to it when I started going to ASU--I thought everyone was overcharging me!

I'm pretty sure it goes by billing address. That's how it determines which country's store you can use, and I would think tax would be determined the same way.
