    @hiefever 

    It goes to your state and local government and is required to be charged as per law for electronic purchases.  I pay for other MMO subscriptions and also am charge a tax on those as well.  On this page http://www.swtor.com/buy it states:

    "Total is VAT/GST inclusive where applicable." below the different plans and in the fine print at the bottom:

    "CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR APPLICABLE SALES TAX. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED, TAXED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW."

    So it just depends on what the rules are for your state / local or federal government is on electronic purchases and how much to charge.
