USD tak payah kot

In RM pay only tax

Haha doubt they will go that far 2 tax all transactions not in RM

All 3 is because all 3 already had RM transactions while rest of site still in USD RMB

Is it is time for piracy?

Basically every time you make a transaction on Steam for digital goods/services, you will be taxed a certain amount. Same thing with value-added tax (VAT) in the UK, Europe and certain oceanic countries where people in such places have to pay VAT for every transaction made unless it's exempted.

Yes if it's required by laws and regulations from that particular government of that country or state, else Valve won't be able to do business here locally and would be consider an illegal business entity by the government.

Don't be that low. As if you can't buy any games for a cheap price on sale. Even on launch GMG has a better price for pre-ordering than Steam also, so many alternatives.

Haha like the early days of grab/uber

Illegal and some alpha elite able 2 rake 5 digit monthly driving whole day every day

This is dirty money in the laws of Malaysia

Too bad i able 2 enjoy the candy exactly 1 year only

DRAGON BALL FighterZ WEEKEND DEAL! RM79.60 guys!!!

ASF seems to do solo farming than multigame farm like idlemaster.
Idlemaster doesn't connect to steam and i'm trying to find a workaround it.
Please finish all card drops before 2020

Actually I wonder if we will be taxed, or just on Valve's end..

Because... other countries like in the US or EU, doesn't get taxed.. Funny our government.

Yeah my conclusion was when i asked my friend's from the US, and other EU countries not listed for taxed in there.
Interesting enough, I ask my Netherlands friend, he didn't say got any tax, inclusive I guess. He just didn't notice.
20%+ lol.. what a joke. Guess can consider to retire gaming in 2020.

Since I mostly buy games on day 1 when a review is out, and rarely any games on sale this days, this is not good news for me. Hoping GMG or whatever other alternative can ease the pain, or yeah play on other platform that doesn't get taxed.

Also this will be interesting as well. The prices for physical games vs digital.

Time to stop buying games and finish all the backlog
Kappa

If not mistaken , steam checks when you have crossed a certain limit on steam trading by selling , and then initiate the collection , at one point i had to show i wasn't a us citizen ^.^
the govt hasn't clarified on how they'll proceed to collect the tax which is why even steam is not announcing anything so far yet.
It seems to be most likely on games sold in malaysia rather than the market ,

Holy cow , other than a few countries by one hand, everyone else is taking a double digit tax

It will most likely effect all if not only just games. But it's happening sadly. Personally if the game is 20% or more expensive, I might just stop gaming on PC since most of the games are digitally bought, and non is bringing any physical copies in. Console gaming is very budget friendly and you can sell it back after you're done. Kinda don't mind this days. Graphic card like RTX is double the price, ram is more expensive, and later our games also more expensive. Sounds like a calling.

Maybe should move somewhere else, Malaysia going down the drain

Do I have any obligation to collect or pay sales, VAT, or other transaction taxes based on transactions I engage in in the Community Market?
Different countries have different rules relating to the taxation of digital transactions. Most jurisdictions do not require individuals to register for, collect or pay sales taxes, VAT or use taxes in connection with occasional sales where they do not qualify as "professional" sellers. However, the ultimate responsibility for determining any tax requirements that may apply to sales you make in the Community Market rests with you. If you are concerned or have further questions about this issue, please consult your own tax advisor. Note: With respect to our administrative fee, if any sales, VAT, or other taxes are due on that payment, we will be responsible for paying those taxes.

Most likely games only will have the price increase , not the steam market
