Godaddy auction tax

**KBX** · 12-08-2011, 07:09 AM

I recently bought an domain of GoDaddy auction for 1xx dollars and was charged an extra 30 dollars as tax is this normal or a billing error on their end? Since thats like 1/6 of the price i paid for the domain and doesnt seem right to me.

Wondered if you guys have had such issues before

If the total selling price of the domain was $150 at auction and you were charged $30, I would assume that you being in London, are being charged 20% VAT (Value Added Tax) on your purchase.
