All MMO: Texas, USA Residents to pay tax on subscription fees

As you most likely already know, I am owner of an account selling site, mmoaccountsales.com.  I recently received some emails from SOE, stating that something new is afoot in Texas.  It seems that Texas has decided to start taxing people’s subscriptions to online games.  This means that any subscription in the state of Texas will be charged a slight fee.  It makes me wonder on which other states or countries will follow, I imagine California, with their financial straits, but I also wonder if it will create a rebellion.  California already taxes items which you receive from other states via online transactions.  What more will follow?

Important Information Regarding Your Account

Note to Texas residents – The state sales tax authorities have issued a ruling that mandates a slight increase in sales tax for online subscriptions. As a result, effective immediately, you will see a slight increase in the amount charged to you (and reflected on your credit card statement) as SOE collects and remits the appropriate sales tax in accordance with applicable state regulations.

We appreciate your understanding on this matter.
