This is the first time I notice someone charging Sales Tax for hosting.
I found this on http://rackshack.net/
"* Note: Sales Tax (currently 8.25%) is added to all charges".
Is this something new or I just a way of making extra buck or two?

See this thread for recent discussion: http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22511&highlight=rackshack+tax

How did I miss that discussion ;D
