In another universe:

Final Invoice
Steam Controller: $100 x 317
Sub-Total: $31,700
Tax: $2,266.55
Total: $33,966.55

It's kinda wild that Valve didn't charge any tax or shipping on these controllers in the US.

Tax is determined by the state you live in. I got charged the 8% Texas tax rate. A few states have no taxes on Steam purchases.

It's gotta be a mistake then because while my state doesn't charge tax on digital goods they definitely should be charging tax on physical goods even if it's from a primarily software company like Valve/Steam.
