We use third-party services to determine the State where the player is located at the moment of the payment. Based on this information, the tax can be added.
The local authorities set it, and we cannot influence this process. The taxation mechanism is also fully automatic and cannot be controlled from our side.
The tax rate depends on the geolocation of the IP address. If you believe your location was identified wrongly, please contact your Internet Service Provider.
Also, the taxes will still be applied if you use a VPN. The system detects your current IP address, not the one behind the VPN client.
